Change the answer type for a videoask step

Once you've created a step in your videoask and chosen how you'd like people to respond, you may decide to change the answer type to collect a different type of response or build a different kind of flow. 

However, it's important to note that once you've collected responses for a step, you won't be able to change the answer type. Therefore, it's best to make any necessary changes before you start receiving responses.

If you've already collected responses and you'd like to change the answer type you can:

  • Delete responses collected for that videoask and then follow the above steps.
  • Duplicate the videoask step (the new step will not include any responses collected in the original step).
  • Duplicate your videoask (this will create a new share URL and will not include any responses collected in the original videoask).

    Note: Once deleted, responses cannot be restored. We recommend exporting or downloading responses before deleting them.
