To help you save time and quickly build your questionnaire, Evalandgo allows you to copy and paste all your questions in one go.
To do this, click “Import or Copy/Paste questions” when creating your questionnaire, or use the “Import or Copy” button in the right-hand menu to add questions page by page.
Below is a complete guide to the formatting rules you should follow.
Rule 1: One question = One text block
Each question must be separated by two line breaks.
Example:
What is your favorite color?
Red
Blue
Green
What is your favorite fruit?
Apple
Banana
Grapes
⚠️ Remember to insert a line break between the question and each of its answer choices, as shown above.
Rule 2: Separate pages with a line of dashes
To divide your questionnaire into multiple pages, insert a line containing at least three dashes.
Example:
Page 1
How old are you?
Under 18
18 to 35
Over 35
————————————–
Page 2
How satisfied are you?
Very satisfied
Satisfied
Not very satisfied
Rule 3: Use triple quotation marks for multiline answers
By default, each line break indicates a new answer choice.
To include line breaks within an answer choice or text, wrap it in triple quotes: """...""".
Example:
Which training programs have you completed?
“””Tech & IT:
Introduction to Cybersecurity”””
“””Tech & IT:
UX/UI Design Fundamentals”””
“””Business & Management:
Leadership and Team Management”””
“””Languages & Communication:
Professional Writing and Storytelling”””

Rule 4: Add question options using square brackets
Immediately after the question title or an answer choice, you can insert options inside square brackets [ ... ].
These allow you to:
– Make a question required: [mandatory]
– Set the question type: [type:unique]
– Add an “Other” choice: [other]
– Mark correct answers (for quizzes): [correct]
– Assign point values (for quizzes): [points:1]
Example:
What color is the sky? [type:unique, points:2]
Red
Blue [correct]
Green
Other [other]
What is your first name? [type:form, mandatory]
First name
Supported question types include:
Single Select: [type:unique]

File Upload: [type:upload]
Drawing: [type:drawing]
Allocation: [type:distribution]
To insert a section of text/image or a heading, use: [type:item_text].
Rule 5: Add additional information using tags
You can include extra information below a question or answer using tags in angle brackets <...>.
This allows you to:
– Add helper text: <help>Additional information</help>
– Display feedback for correct answers (quizzes): <correct>Well done!</correct>
– Display feedback for incorrect answers (quizzes): <wrong>Try again.</wrong>
Example:
What is your full name?<help>This question is required.</help>
First name
Last name

When you paste or import your questionnaire, our system automatically detects the most suitable question type (e.g., single choice, multiple choice, open-ended).
A preview will appear on the right side of the screen, showing how each block is rendered.
You can also change the question type at any time using the type selector in the top right corner of each question.
