For all answer options except short answer, paragraph, Date and Time, you’ll need to write in options for answers. For instance, you’ll need to provide all the multiple-choice answers as well as the correct one. You can set the answer to: Short answer/Paragraph - gives the user a small or big text field to answer in. Multiple-choice - lets the user make one choice out of a few options. You can also use Multiple choice Grid to list combinations. Checkboxes - lets the user make multiple choices out of a few options. You can also use Checkbox Grid if you want to include combinations. Dropdown - gives the user a menu that will drop down to reveal a list of answers. File upload - lets the user upload a file in answer to the question. Linear Scale - lets the user answer in a range (like 1-5). Date and Time - lets the user select a date and/or time.
