In the world of market research, staying ahead of emerging trends is crucial.

Turning your questionnaires into surveys with the new import survey feature undoubtedly makes things easier, but it doesn’t stop there. Here's how you can get more out of it.
Import documents in various formats, including .docx, .doc, and .txt files. This means no matter how your questionnaire was created, you can transition it into a survey without extensive reformatting.
Have a questionnaire ready, but need to change it from one language to another? No problem. Import the document as it is, and once it’s turned into a survey, simply head over to the language settings to translate it.
Zoho Survey automatically assigns the most suitable question types as you import your survey. If you prefer a different setup, you can easily make adjustments to fit your specific needs.
After importing your document, you can easily customize your survey to better fit your needs. The builder, equipped with a rich text editor, gives you complete flexibility over design. Format your text in bold or italics, highlight them, change font colors, include hyperlinks, add photos and videos, and much more!
When you start creating a survey, you’ll be presented with four options: create one from scratch, import a survey, choose from templates, or copy from existing surveys. Simply select the Import Survey option, and you’ll be prompted to either upload a document from your device or use the bulk builder to start drafting your questions.
The bulk question builder offers the convenience of a built-in word processor within Zoho Survey, making it easier to draft surveys directly on the platform. This feature is ideal for creating new surveys, adding additional questions, or editing them in bulk, without the need to drag and drop each question individually.
The Import Survey feature is perfect for scenarios where your questionnaire is already prepared in a document. It allows you to quickly turn that document into a survey. Other use cases include digitizing paper surveys or translating them into different languages.
If your paper survey is scanned into a PDF, simply use an online PDF to Word converter to convert the file into a .docx, .doc, or .txt format. Once converted, you can easily import the document into Zoho Survey to transform it into a digital survey.
Errors in the documents, such as typos or incorrect grammar, are not automatically detected. However, once your survey is imported, you can start editing it right away. Any changes you make are reflected in the preview pane in real time, allowing you to see the updates instantly. When your survey is ready to launch, you can use the Preview Survey option to ensure everything is in order, and even share the preview link with your team members for additional review.
