# Manage question templates

_Skileo Human Resources › Surveys · Who can do this: Business owner, Member_

Question templates holds every survey question of your company, ready to add to any survey. Create, copy, edit and delete questions there.

## What you see

Open “Surveys”, then “Question templates”. The list holds the questions you create here and every question written in a survey.

Each line shows the “Title”, the “Type”, “Created” and “Updated”.

- Click “Search” and type part of the question.
- Click “Show filters” to show only one “Type”.
- Click “Export” to download the list as a CSV file.

## Create a question

1. Click “Add new”.
2. In “Question details”, choose the “Type”, and write the “Title” (the question) and a “Description”. All three are required.
3. In “Question design”, fill in the fields of the type: the answers to choose from, or the steps of the scale. See [Add questions to a survey](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/add-questions-to-a-survey).
4. Click “Save”.

To use the question, open a survey, click “Add new” under “Questions”, then the “Existing questions” tab.

## Edit, copy or delete a question

Click the actions button (**⋮**) at the end of a line:

- “Edit”: the change shows in every survey that uses the question, sent ones included.
- “Copy”: a new question whose title ends with "Copy", to make a variant.
- “Delete”: see below.

To copy or delete several questions, tick their lines, then use the bar that appears above the list.

> **Good to know**
> A deleted question doesn't go to the “Trash”: it is removed for good, and taken out of every survey not yet sent that uses it.


## Common questions

### Why can't I delete a question?

A survey that was already sent uses it. Its answers and results need the question, so it stays.

### Why can't I change a question?

A survey that was already sent uses it, and your change would remove an answer or change its type. Copy the question and change the copy.

### Why don't I see Edit or Delete on some questions?

A “Member” can change and delete only the questions they created. See [Who can see and change surveys](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/who-can-see-surveys).
