Vello survey designer: Survey settings

The right sidebar of the survey designer has buttons that you can use to open settings for different parts of a survey (for example, survey questions or survey pages).

The buttons shown in the right sidebar are applicable to each part of a survey that you use the survey designer to select. For example, the sidebar shows different buttons if you select:

The survey
A survey question
A survey page
