Titled “Copy of …”, starts unpublished with no responses.
Use it to fork a survey for a different audience, to make risky edits safely, or to start a new survey from one you like.
Nothing links the copy to the original.
Keeps the original title and is labelled Wave 2, Wave 3, and so on.
Use it for anything you field repeatedly — quarterly pulse, annual engagement, brand tracker.
Results trend against previous waves on the Trend tab.
Duplicating
- 1Go to your dashboard
- 2Find the survey's card and click Duplicate
The copy/two-pages icon in the row of actions along the bottom of the card.
- 3Open “Copy of …” and rename it
The copy is unpublished and has no responses, so you can change anything freely.
What comes across in a duplicate
- Copied — Every question, its options and settings, survey settings, and your branding.
- Rebuilt — Question IDs are regenerated, and any show / hide / skip rules are rewired to point at the new questions.
- Not copied — Responses. The copy starts empty, and the original's data is untouched.
Show / hide / skip rules are rewired automatically. Loop and carry-forward settings are not — they can still point at the original survey's questions.
A loop that has lost its source does not error. It silently renders nothing, which looks exactly like a loop that was never set up. If your copy contains looped or carry-forward questions, open each one and re-select its source, then preview to confirm it fires.
Running it again as a wave
- 1Click New wave on the survey card
The trending-up icon, two along from Duplicate.
- 2Make only the edits you have to
See the warning below — rewording a question breaks its trend line.
- 3Publish and field it as usual
- 4Open the Trend tab on either wave
Wave-over-wave movement is charted for the questions that matched.
Waves are matched on question wording and type, not position. That means you can reorder questions freely between waves and nothing breaks — but changing a question's words makes it look like a new question, and its trend line starts over.
Capitalisation, extra spaces, and trailing punctuation are ignored, so small tidy-ups are safe. Rewriting the question is not.
Who owns a copy
A duplicate belongs to whoever clicked Duplicate, not to the original owner. If you are duplicating a survey that somebody shared with you, the copy lands in your account and they will not see it on their dashboard.
Your branding only carries across when you already own the original. Duplicating somebody else's survey drops the brand kit link, and you re-apply one of your own afterwards.
