  • Brief explanations of the options:
    • Create a blank survey project: You can create a survey from scratch.
    • Import a QSF file:  You can import a QSF file and use as a template. The QSF file contains all the same settings, but none of the collected data.

    • Copy a survey from an existing project: You can create a copy of an existing survey. A copied survey will retain all the same settings as the original survey.
