Speed up form and survey building with element and slide cloning. Duplicate form components and survey slides with a single click to create enrollment forms, parent surveys, and registration quizzes faster while maintaining consistent design.
What is Element & Slide Cloning?
Element and slide cloning lets you instantly duplicate any component you've already configured in a form, quiz, or survey. This is especially useful when creating enrollment forms with repeated sections or multi-step parent surveys.
With cloning, you can:
- Quickly replicate custom fields, text boxes, image elements, and question blocks
- Preserve styles, validations, and settings automatically
- Reuse proven form sections instead of rebuilding from scratch
The clone appears directly below the original and can be edited independently without affecting the source element.
Key Benefits
- Speed: One click duplicates any element; build multi-step parent surveys in minutes
- Consistency: Maintain the same spacing, labels, and formatting across your enrollment forms
- Efficiency: Reuse thoughtfully configured components like emergency contact sections or child information blocks
- Accuracy: Preserve required field rules and validations to avoid setup errors
- Design Continuity: Keep your enrollment forms looking professional and polished
What Gets Copied
When you clone an element or slide, these properties transfer to the duplicate:
- Styles & Layout: Fonts, spacing, widths, alignment, and color themes
- Validations: Required field toggles and validation rules
- Content: Labels, placeholders, dropdown choices, and helper text
- Images: Source files, alignment, and size settings
- Slides (Surveys/Quizzes): Complete visual design and layout
After cloning, you can modify the duplicate without affecting the original—perfect for creating similar but distinct sections like "Parent 1 Information" and "Parent 2 Information."
Clone Elements in Forms, Surveys & Quizzes
Use element cloning to duplicate individual form fields, questions, or content blocks. This works in all three builder types.
- Open your form, survey, or quiz in the builder
- Hover over the element you want to duplicate
- Click the Clone icon (two overlapping rectangles)
- The duplicate appears immediately below the original
- Click the cloned element to make any needed changes
Clone Entire Slides (Surveys & Quizzes Only)
Slide cloning duplicates the entire slide canvas—including layout, design elements, and all questions. This accelerates multi-step survey creation and keeps formatting consistent across your parent surveys or registration quizzes.
- Open your survey or quiz in the builder
- Move your cursor to the top-right corner of the slide you want to duplicate
- Click Clone Slide
- A complete duplicate slide is created
- Edit the new slide as needed
Note: Slide cloning is not available in standard forms—only in surveys and quizzes.
