What is Element & Slide Cloning?

Element & Slide Cloning lets you instantly duplicate a component you’ve already configured in a form, quiz or survey. With this tool, you can Quickly replicate custom fields, text boxes, image elements, and more. The clone appears directly below the original and preserves its styles, validations, and other settings, so you can reuse proven blocks instead of rebuilding from scratch. After cloning, the new element/slide can be edited without affecting the original. You can also clone entire slides in survey mode, saving time when creating multi-step surveys or repeating question formats.

Key Benefits of Element & Slide Cloning

  • Speed: One click duplicates any element; slide cloning accelerates multi‑step survey creation.

  • Consistency: Keep the same spacing, labels, styles, and formatting across repeated sections.

  • Efficiency: Reuse thoughtfully configured components instead of recreating them.

  • Scalability: Build larger forms and surveys faster by reusing existing structures.

  • Accuracy: Preserve validations and required rules to avoid missed settings.

  • Design Reuse: Copy styled image/text blocks to maintain a uniform look.

What Copies Over on Clone

Understanding what’s duplicated helps you plan edits after cloning so data collection stays accurate and the UX remains consistent.

  • Styles & Layout: Fonts, spacing, widths, alignment, and themes.

  • Validations: Required toggles and validation rules configured on the original element.

  • Content: Labels, placeholders, choices, and helper text.

  • Images: Source, alignment, and size settings.

  • Slides (Surveys/Quizzes): Visual design and layout are copied.
