Hi, is it possible to copy and paste the possible answers to a multiple choice poll from an Excel sheet into Slido?

Hi there,

For better or worse, the ability to upload your poll questions and options to Slido from an excel sheet (or other type of data sheet) is not currently on our roadmap. However, please feel free to suggest this and/or vote for it within our Slido Wishlist. That’s the best place to share your ideas and upvote other suggestions.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best,

Hi @Hockeymom,

I’m afraid that copy & pasting from an Excel sheet doesn’t work because the copied data will be regarded as cells which can’t be recognized in Slido. 

 

Thank you for the suggestion and I apologize that I don’t have a better answer right now.

I want to create a Slido survey by importing it from a Excel file, so I dont have to copy each question and its options individually, is it possible?

Hi @mbgalindo711,

Unfortunately, it’s currently not possible to import data from Excel to Slido. 

You’ll have to copy+paste all the questions manually.

We realize that this is not a great experience, especially with larger surveys! 

If this ever becomes available, we will make sure to update this thread.

 

Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can help you with in the meantime.

Good afternoon,

 

I just wanted to ask if it is possible to import previously created google forms questionnaires into slido or do we have to start from scratch?

 

Many thanks,

Ross

Hi @catchpoler - Ross,

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to import data from Google Forms into Slido. 

I realize that it’s not the best experience, especially with a large number of questions, but you’ll need to copy & paste your data manually for now. 

 

I’ll be sure to update this thread with any news about potential implementation timelines.

Please let me know if there’s anything else that I can help you with in the meantime!

Any updates on this feature? It's super important and it should be way up in the roadmap!

Dear Slido Team., 

I really love your product, but being able to copy questions from one event to another, or to have the chance to create one large pool of questions that can be reused would be absolutely amazing. Would be great if this could be taken into consideration again. 

Cheers

Steve

Hello @Stefan_Bremen 

You actually have a couple of options here. The first option is to duplicate your slido. When you duplicate a slido, it creates a brand new slido with the exact same polls (minus any results). This is a great and quick way to run the exact same polls multiple times.

 

Also within your Slido templates, you have the option to search through and reuse any poll you’ve ever created. Just go to Templates and then select My previous polls. Thats’ where you can search for and add any previous poll in one click.

I hope this helps!
