Speeding up the survey creation with depot questions


If a question is used more often in your questionnaire, you can define a depot question. In progress of creating the questionnaire it's possible to reference it at all appropriate pages. 

Later on it is not necessary to edit each of the questions individually if you have to change these frequently recurring questions.

Please note that changes to the depot question directly affect all other reference questions which are based on it.
