Clone Survey

The Clone Survey feature allows users to quickly create a duplicate copy of an existing survey. This helps save time by avoiding manual re-creation of questions, sections, logic, and configurations.

When to Use Clone Survey

Use this feature when you want to:

  • Reuse an existing survey structure.
  • Create similar surveys for different audiences or departments.
  • Maintain a standard template and make small modifications.
  • Perform testing without affecting the original survey.

What Gets Cloned

When you clone a survey, the system copies:

Best Practices

  • Rename cloned surveys clearly (e.g., “Customer Feedback – 2025 Version”).
  • Review branching rules after cloning to ensure they still match the new flow.
  • Update target objects if cloning for a different module.
  • Check image questions to verify images remain properly linked.
