Editing Questions Template

Edit and customize reusable interview question templates to keep candidate evaluation consistent across jobs.

Edit a Questions Template

Editing a questions template lets you update a reusable set of interview questions used across multiple jobs.

Use edits to refine your evaluation approach, incorporate feedback, and keep the template aligned with your hiring needs.

Open Settings

Open your Xinterview workspace and go to the Settings page.

You manage workspace-level templates from Settings.

Open Questions Templates

Select the Questions Templates section in Settings.

This section lists the templates you have already created.

Select the template to edit

Choose the template you want to update.

The template opens so you can make changes to its questions and settings.

Update the template name if needed

Edit the template name if its current name no longer fits its purpose.

Use a name that clearly describes the role, stage, or question set it supports.

Add or remove questions

Add new questions or remove questions that are no longer needed.

Keep the template focused on the information you want to collect for each candidate.

Customize question types and settings

Adjust each question type and any available settings.

Use the format that best fits the answer you want to collect.

Update scoring criteria if needed

Refine scoring criteria when your evaluation approach changes.

Keep scoring aligned with how your team reviews candidates.

Review your changes

Review the full template before saving it.

Check the wording, order, question types, and settings to make sure the template reflects your current process.

Save the updated template

Save the template when everything looks correct.

The updated template is now ready to use with new jobs and interview updates.

Keep your templates effective by reviewing them regularly and aligning them with your hiring process.

Not always. Template changes are mainly intended for future use, so check existing jobs individually if you need them updated too.

That question is removed from the template going forward. Review the template carefully before saving so you do not remove something you still need.

You can edit the template again, but it is best to review your changes before saving because there may not be a separate undo option.

Refresh the page first and confirm the save completed successfully. If needed, reopen the template to verify the latest version was saved.

Yes. Only users with the right settings or workspace access should be able to change shared templates.
