Add or delete questions in templates

Learn how to add or delete questions in your templates via the web app and the mobile app.

Why add or delete questions?

Questions are the foundation of your template editor experience. They help shape the templates that fit you and your team's workflow. With SafetyCulture, you have complete control over what you need in your templates. You can add new questions with different template response types or delete questions that are no longer needed.

Take note

Published changes made to templates only apply to new inspections moving forward.
