The Study Editor & Questions Library ✍️

The study editor is a complete redesign of how you build screeners in Ethnio, with new question types, built-in logic, and a cleaner layout. The Questions Library lets you save a question once and reuse it across studies. This article covers both a both features are currently in Beta.

Opening the editor 🚪

Find it in the left sidebar of any study.

Open any study and click Editor in the left sidebar. You’ll see a Beta badge while the editor is in early access.

Editor layout 🗺️

Canvas on the right, settings on the left.

Canvas (right side) — shows your screener questions in order (Q1, Q2, Q3…). At the bottom you’ll always see three ending cards: Regular Ending, Qualified Ending, and Disqualified Ending. These control what participants see when they finish.
Settings panel (left side) — updates based on whichever question is selected. It has two sections: Options (question behavior) and Logic.

Use the Content / Logic flow tabs at the top right to switch between editing questions and viewing your full logic map.

Adding questions ➕

Build from scratch or pull from your Library.

Click + Add content to open the question picker. Search by name or browse by category. New question types are marked with a sparkle (✨).
The Library tab lets you pull in a saved question from your Questions Library instead of building one from scratch.

Configuring a question ⚙️

Edit inline, then set options.

Click any question in the canvas to select it. Edit the question title by clicking it directly.
For close-ended types, click any answer to edit it, use + Answer to add options, and Copy Answers / Paste Answers to duplicate answer sets between questions.
Options: Required (participant must answer before moving on) · Randomize answers · “Other” field text input · Add page break.

Logic 🔀

Show, hide, skip, qualify, and automate based on how someone answers.

Qualifying logic — marks the question as a qualifier; answers can route participants to a Qualified or Disqualified ending.
Skip logic (conditional) — routes participants to a different question based on their answer, skipping questions in between. Add a rule per answer option.
Display logic — shows or hides a question based on a previous answer; if the condition isn’t met, the question is skipped automatically.
Pool automation triggers — connects a participant’s answer to an automated action in your Pool.
Personalization — pipes a participant’s earlier answer into a later question, so screeners feel more conversational.

Click the Logic flow tab at the top right to see a visual map of your entire screener, with each question and ending shown as a node.

The Questions Library 📚

Build a question once, reuse it everywhere.

A centralized place to store and reuse screener questions across your workspace. Build a question once, save it, and pull it into any study — no rebuilding from scratch.

Finding your questions

Click Questions library in the left sidebar. The table has four columns: Name (the question label), Type (the question format), Studies (how many studies currently use the question), and Created At.
Use the search bar to find a question by name, or the question-type dropdown to filter by format.

Adding a question

Click + Add question to create a new question and save it to the library.
Once saved, pull it into any study via the Library tab in the editor.

Note: The editor and Questions Library are in Beta. Features and labels (especially Personalization) may change as we continue to develop them.
