How to use a template in Questiory

Templates give you a starting point instead of a blank canvas. Here's how to find one that fits your context, customize it, and get it ready to share.

Starting from a blank canvas is useful when you know exactly what you want to build. But if you’re exploring what’s possible, or if you want to get something ready quickly, templates are a faster path.

A template in Questiory is a pre-built experience with interactions and visualizations already configured. You can use it as-is or adjust it to fit your context.

Step 1: Browse the template library

From your Questiory dashboard, click Use a template. This opens a library of ready-made experiences organized by use case.

You’ll find templates for common scenarios: team check-ins, retrospectives, icebreakers, brainstorming sessions, training feedback, and more. Browse by category or search by keyword if you’re looking for something specific.

Each template has a preview so you can see what participants will experience before you commit to using it.

Step 2: Create the presentation

When you find one that fits, click Create. Questiory creates the experience in your account, ready to share or use as a starting point. It’s yours to edit freely.

Step 3: Customize it

Open the experience in the editor. You’ll see the slides that were already set up. At minimum, you’ll probably want to:

  • Edit the title to match your session
  • Adjust question wording to fit your context or your group’s language
  • Add or remove slides, including interactions, visualizations, or static content slides

Some templates are simple enough to use without changing anything. Others are designed as starting points that you’ll want to tailor more significantly.

Step 4: Preview and share

Before sharing, use Open presentation to see the experience from your participants’ perspective. This is a good moment to check that the questions read well and the visualizations feel right.

Keep in mind that the presentation will appear empty at first. Visualizations need data to come to life. If you want the visualizations to show something before your session starts, you can preload a few responses. Otherwise, just leave it ready and let your audience fill it in live.

When you’re ready, use Share to get the link or QR code and send it to your group.

A few things worth knowing

Using a template doesn’t limit you. Once the copy is in your account, you have the same flexibility as if you’d built it from scratch. You can change any part of it.

If you find a template you use regularly, you can also duplicate your customized version to reuse it in future sessions. This way you build your own set of starting points over time.
