Inserting a question
When you create a questionnaire, some questions may be automatically added depending on the template chosen. The Insert question menu shows the list of question styles that you can include.

Once you have selected a question style from the Insert question side menu, there are two ways to insert a question.
- Double click
This will insert the new question after the currently selected question in the questionnaire. If no question is selected, the new question is inserted at the end of the questionnaire.
- Drag and drop
As you drag the question over the questionnaire you will see a Drop here message that shows you where the question will be placed.

Question Toolbar
When you select a question in the Online Designer, you will see the Question toolbar that lets you edit the question. The information shown on the toolbar depends on the question style selected.
You can see the type of question in the drop down on the Question toolbar. The example below is a Single Choice question.
