You can tailor the wording of a survey question for specific projects.
There are two methods:
Originalsthree methods for creating different versions of a survey:
Bespoke Questions (uses several surveys)
Reusable Questions (uses several surveys)
Personalised Wording Core Questions using Waves (uses a single survey)
