Not all freeform question types available in Content Library

Mar 07, 2018

I'm really struggling figuring out why not all question types are available as templates in the Content Library. 

For example, if I would like a Pick Many question using the Velocity template, where would I go to get that? I see Pick One and Drag and Drop in Freeform Questions, and there are several Velocity question types available in the Content Library but nothing for Pick Many. 

Am I missing something? 

Thanks for any help!

Hi there, Heather!

Great question ⭐️What you see is correct, in that not all question types are available as specific templates in the Content Library. Those templates were built for general set up, so that you could modify them to create a different question type.

I hope that helps, and let us know if you have any more questions! Happy to help!

Correct Heather, the templates are simple 'starters' for you to customise as you want. 

Insert the Pick One then...

go to the Home Tab > Remove Freeform, which will remove the feedback layers then Convert to Freeform and select Pick Many.  (In effect this is removing the button set functionality of a pick one which means you can only have one selection) This will add back the feedback layers.  As a safeguard I would duplicate the slide before you do it in case the feedback layers come back as the default grey SL ones instead of the template ones.

Shout out if you need a hand.
