How to Import or Copy/Paste Questions into Evalandgo?

Evalandgo allows you to quickly create your questionnaires thanks to the Import or Copy/Paste Questions option.

You can:

  • Import a .docx, .pdf, or .txt file.

  • Copy and paste a series of questions directly into the editor, page by page.

To do this, click the “Import or Copy/Paste Questions” button when creating a questionnaire, or use the “Import or Copy” button in the right-hand menu.




Rules for a Successful Import

Rule #1: One question = one block of text

Each question must be separated by two line breaks (Enter).


Idea

Example:

What is your favorite color?  
Red  
Blue  
Green  

What is your favorite fruit?  
Apple  
Banana  
Grapes

AlertWarning: Insert a line break between the question and each answer choice.


Rule #2: Separate pages with a line of dashes

To create multiple pages, insert a line containing at least three dashes (---).

IdeaExample:
What is your age?  
Under 18  
18 to 35  
Over 35  

---  

How satisfied are you?  
Very satisfied  
Satisfied  
Not satisfied

Rule #3: Surround long texts with triple quotes """

If an option contains multiple lines (training title, description, etc.), surround it with triple quotes.

IdeaExample:

Which training did you attend?  

"""Tech & IT:

Cybersecurity basics"""  

"""Tech & IT:

UX/UI Design: Fundamentals"""  

"""Business & Management:

Leadership and Team Management"""  

"""Languages & Communication:

Professional Writing and Storytelling"""


Rule #4: Add advanced options with square brackets [ ]

Brackets allow you to:

  • Make a question mandatory → [mandatory]

  • Define a question type → [type:unique]

  • Add an “Other” option → [other]

  • Define a correct answer (quiz) → [correct]

  • Assign a score → [points:1] 

Idea
Example :
What color is the sky? [type:unique,points:2]  
Red  
Blue [correct]  
Green  
Other [other]  

What is your first name? [type:form,mandatory]  
First name

InfoQuestion types available:
  • Single choice → [type:unique]

  • Multiple choice → [type:multiple]

  • Text → [type:text]

  • Number → [type:number]

  • Scale → [type:scale]

  • NPS → [type:n_p_s]

  • Slider → [type:slider]

  • Emoji → [type:emoticon]

  • Rating → [type:rating]

  • Ranking → [type:ranking]

  • Form → [type:form]

  • Date/Time → [type:date_time]

  • File upload → [type:upload]

  • Drawing → [type:drawing]

  • Distribution → [type:distribution]

You can also add a text element (e.g., a title or info) with [type:item_text].


Rule #5: Add information with tags < >

Tags allow you to enrich questions or answers:

  • <help> → additional info

  • <correct> → correct answer message (quiz)

  • <wrong> → wrong answer message


Idea
Example:
<help>This question is mandatory.</help>  
First name  
Last name
