Manage questions and question groups in the question library

How questions and question groups work together

• Every question lives in the question library, even if you create it in a form, a report, or a question group.
• A question can belong to more than one question group.
• Question groups can only be created and managed in the question library. You can add them to forms, but not create or edit them there.
• Question group names are for internal use only. Responding organizations never see them.

In the left navigation, click Reporting > Question Library. Use the Questions and Question Groups tabs to switch between them. You can search either tab by title, and on the Questions tab you can filter by question type or group.
