How do I duplicate a question?
### Using the Editor

Duplicating a field on Paperform is relatively straightforward. Here's how to do it:

 1. Navigate to the form editor.
 1. Select the field you want to duplicate and click on the box icon appearing on the left-hand side.
 1. You should now see a duplicate of the same field below the original.

## Gotchas

 - Duplicate fields will **not** be updated if the original field is changed afterward.
