Is there a way to edit a question in the library and have changes pushed to any survey that uses that question?
Specific Context:
I have a multiple choice question block with a large number of courses listed in it. This block shows up multiple times in one survey and in a few other surveys. I’d like to be able to update the question block in one central location and have any changes pushed to the surveys that have that question. Is that possible?
Hi
mabey this willl work for you
In Qualtrics offers a feature called "Library Questions" that allows you to create and manage questions centrally. When you create a question in the library, any changes made to that question will be reflected in all surveys where that question is used.
Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Library Question: Create your multiple-choice question block with the list of courses in the library.
Add the Library Question to Surveys: In each survey where you want to use this question block, add the library question from the library instead of creating a new one. This ensures that you're using the centralized version.
Update the Library Question: Whenever you need to make changes to the question block (like adding or removing courses), edit the question in the library. Once you save the changes, they will automatically apply to all surveys using that library question.
By using library questions, you maintain consistency across multiple surveys and can easily manage updates from a central location.

Hi
You can create a question in the Library and then use it across multiple surveys. However, editing a question in the Library won't automatically update the question in surveys where it's already being used. When you edit a question in the Library, it only affects surveys created after the edit.
To update the question in all surveys where it's used, you would need to manually replace the old version of the question with the updated version in each survey.
Another approach is to use Survey Flow. You can create a survey specifically for managing your library of questions. Then, in each survey where you use the question block, you can add a "Get Survey" block to pull in the question block from your question management survey. This way, when you update the question block in the question management survey, the changes will be reflected in all surveys where the updated question block is pulled in via the "Get Survey" block.
Thank you!
