Using Poll Templates
Get started quickly with pre-built templates for common polling scenarios.
What Are Templates?
Poll templates are pre-configured poll setups designed for common use cases. Instead of starting from scratch, you can select a template that matches your needs and customize it from there.
Templates save you time by providing:
- A relevant poll title that you can customize
- Pre-filled answer options for common scenarios
- Appropriate poll settings (like ranked choice for prioritization)
- The right poll type (Question or DateTime) already selected

- Browse the categories to find a template that fits your needs
- Click "Use Template" on your chosen template
- Review and customize the pre-filled poll details
- Add or modify options as needed
- Click "Create Poll" when you're ready
