The question library

Select + to open it. Question types are grouped and searchable. You can either select a type to add it to the end of the survey, or drag it to drop it exactly where you want it.

The canvas

Your survey. In List mode each question renders as respondents will actually see it, so you are editing something close to the finished article. In Graph mode the same survey is drawn as a flow you can branch.

The configuration panel

Selecting a single node fills the configuration panel with that node’s settings. With no node selected, an open panel shows Select a node to configure. Use the close button to hide it.

• Content — the question text, and every setting specific to that question type.
• Advanced — conditional logic and option attributes.

Saving

Everything saves automatically about a second after you stop editing. If a save fails, Lensym retries and tells you; if you try to leave with unsaved changes, it warns you first.
