2. Select Choice from the popup menu that appears.
3. Write your question number or label in the upper box and write your question in the Question Text Box.
4. Add the participants' choices using the Response Options Box (Content and Settings)
Response Options Box (Content):
- If adding options by typing choices one by one in the Option Content field, click Add Option
- If adding options using copy-paste from a list, or drag-and-drop list/image, click Batch Add
- You can also add options using the pre-determined list in the Library > Add from Library
- You can also save the options you created using Library > Save Options to Library (and it will be added to the Add From Library drop-down list)
