The "Build Survey" or "Build Quiz" page is the primary workspace for creating the content of your survey or quiz. On the "Build" page, you can add questions or general content to your survey. As you add questions, the build page will show you an overview of the content of your survey. You can then easily edit, copy, preview, or delete questions. You can also rearrange questions, and create custom labels and numbers for your questions. If you are creating a quiz, you can assign points for questions, and calculate the total points for your quiz.

While the "Build" page views do not show you what the survey looks like when published, you can click Preview to see the published view of each question or page. You can also click Appearance to change the appearance of your published survey or quiz, and then return to continue building it. Read more about editing the appearance of a quiz or survey.
