Import surveys

Importing Surveys into Your Session

To import surveys, you first need an exported file. This file is created when you export a survey from another Vevox session. 

Once you have this file, you can import surveys using one of the four following methods:

1. Import from a previously exported file

If you have exported a survey from another session, you can easily re-import it. Read the instructions below.

2. Import from sample surveys

You can also opt for the 'ready to use' sample surveys in the Vevox dashboard where Vevox have done the thinking for you. Select what surveys you would like to import. 

3. Import from an Excel File (Mass Import)

This method bulk imports survey questions from a pre-populated Excel sheet. Read this article. 

4. Import questions from the Question Library

Any polls or questions you’ve created since 25 May 2024 are automatically saved in the My Previous Questions section of the Question Library – including those from surveys.

Watch this short video on how to export and import surveys:

1. To import your own survey do the following steps:

Go to the Surveys Tab – Select Surveys from the navigation menu.
Click ‘Import’ – Press the Import button to open the upload menu.
Upload Your File – A pop-up screen will appear, prompting you to either drag and drop your Vevox import file or browse for it manually.
Select Your File – Locate and select the Vevox import file from your device.
Preview Your Surveys – Once uploaded, a preview of the surveys to be imported will be displayed.
Confirm the Import – Click Import to finalize the process. Your newly imported surveys will now appear at the top of your survey list. 

2. To import a sample Vevox survey:

When you press the 'Import' option, different sample surveys will appear. Select from the education or business/corporate surveys options.

Each option might have multiple sample surveys to choose from.
Use the dropdown arrow to see what questions will be imported. Here I have clicked on the Meeting feedback survey dropdown to see all the questions in that sample survey.  

You can import just one sample survey or more at the same time. Click the tickbox next to the chosen survey name and press 'Import'. 
The sample survey will now appear in your dashboard. From here you can still edit, move, duplicate or delete the questions in your survey.

3. To import a previously set up question (or poll) into a new survey:

Create a New survey and click on the + Add Question. 
In the content creation modal, choose 'Question Library'.
Use the search bar to find your question. Click the arrow next to it to preview and confirm it’s the right one.
Click 'Add Question'. Your selected question(s) will now be added to your new survey.
