About Text / Graphic Questions

The text / graphic question type lets you add content to your survey without asking a question. This question type can be used, for example, as an introduction page to the survey or as instructions for a specific section.

The first page of the survey thanks respondents for participating, but does not include any questions yet.

Content Type

There are 3 variations of the text / graphic question: text, graphic, and file. You’ll find these variations under Content type in the question editing pane, located to the left of the question.

Text

The text variation is best for instructions or any other written information you’d like to display to your respondents (e.g., a disclaimer or thank you at the beginning of a study).

A Text/Graphic question is selected. On the right, under Type, Text is selected
