Select the survey question you wish to edit in the main survey view page and it will prompt you to the question settings panel on the right-hand side.

On the right panel, you will be able to edit the question settings. See below detailed setting features and select from list below that you wish to view.

In the general question settings, you can give your question a name, and the title is the question you would like to ask the customer.

The Description allows you to include more information or explanation about the question or how to answer the question if needed.

In order for your customer to see the question, you will have to ensure that you select visible from the checkbox. You can make the question required and read-only.
