Customizing Your Template

Once you’ve selected a template:

1. Review All Questions

Walk through each question and:

• Keep questions that fit your needs
• Delete questions that don’t apply
• Modify wording to match your brand voice

2. Add Your Own Questions

Supplement the template with:

• Industry-specific questions
• Company-specific topics
• Additional question types

3. Customize Branding

Make it yours:

• Apply your theme
• Add your logo
• Update colors to match your brand

4. Adjust Settings

Configure survey options:

• Response anonymity
• Completion settings
• Access restrictions

Tips for Using Templates

1. Don’t keep everything - Remove questions that don’t serve your goals
2. Personalize the language - Adjust wording to match your brand
3. Add context - Include text blocks to explain sections
4. Test the flow - Preview to ensure questions flow logically
5. Check the length - Aim for 5-10 minutes completion time

Best Practices

Do:

• Use templates as a starting point, not a final product
• Customize questions for your specific audience
• Remove generic questions that don’t add value
• Add your branding and styling

Don’t:

• Use a template without reviewing all questions
• Keep questions just because they’re included
• Forget to preview before distributing
• Skip the customization step

Next Steps

After customizing your template:

• Add skip logic if needed
• Preview and test your survey
• Choose distribution method
• Set up notifications
