Create your templates and questions

Add your templates in the '🗂 Templates' tab by clicking "New template." Set up an introduction, questions, and visibility settings for your templates. You can modify them later in the templates editor.

To add questions as templates, click the 'Reviews' → 'Questions' tab and click "Add question.” Afterward, you can set up your question, evaluation scale, participants, and visibility. To make it easier to find your questions later, we suggest adding tags to them. You can search for questions using those tags.

Access your templates/questions

To see your templates and questions, go to the 'Reviews' feature in the menu and choose either the 'Questions' or '🗂 Templates' tabs.

You can also add templates and questions while creating a new review by using the context panel. To open the context panel, click the 'arrow' button at the top right of the screen. To find related questions to your topic, try using tags. For example, in the screenshot below, we searched for questions about performance appraisal using the "180 review" tag.
