Clone an Existing Survey
Cloning allows you to create an exact copy of an existing survey. This is perfect for running similar surveys repeatedly or creating variations of a successful survey.
When to Clone a Survey
Clone a survey when you:
- Want to run the same survey again (e.g., quarterly feedback)
- Need to create a similar survey with minor changes
- Want to preserve a successful survey structure
- Need to test variations (A/B testing)
What Gets Cloned
When you clone a survey, the new survey includes:
| Included | Not Included |
|---|---|
| All questions | Previous responses |
| Question settings | Publication status |
| Survey settings | Response limits |
| Branding/theme | Payments |
| Conditional logic | Share links |
The cloned survey starts as a Draft with zero responses.
