2. Click on the Survey button. A sidebar to the right of the page will appear.

3.  Click on the Get started button below the sidebar. A modal will appear.

4.  Enter a name for the Survey. In the drop-down menu, there will be multiple options.

  • 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. 
      You can find out how to get the QFS file at this link: QSF file of the survey.
    • 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.
      This includes survey availability dates, incomplete survey response settings, look and feel settings. [Qualtrics support]
    • Use a survey from your library: You can copy a survey from a library and use it as a template for your new project.
      You can copy from your personal library, your organization’s library, and the Qualtrics Library. [Qualtrics support]

5. Once you have selected your option and followed the instruction(s), click on Create project and you will be taken to the Survey Builder page.
