Folders are the primary way to organize your polls and content in Poll Everywhere 2.0. Whether you're managing multiple courses, topics, or types of activities, folders help streamline your workspace and make it easier to find what you need.

Accessing Your Content

To get started:

  • Click the Polls tab in the left-hand navigation panel.
  • This takes you to your full content library, where all your polls and folders are displayed.

Creating a Folder

Creating folders helps keep your content organized by course, topic, or purpose. Here are a few examples:

  • Course-based folder: Create a folder named "Biology 101" to store all content related to that class.
  • Purpose-based folder: Use folders like "Quiz Prep" or "Lecture Activities" to group related polls together.

  2. Select Add folder.
  3. Enter a Folder name and select Create folder.

Your new folder will now appear in your list of folders, ready to be filled with polls.

Moving folders, polls and questions

You can move folders, polls, and individual questions to keep your content organized. 

  1. Locate the folder, poll, or question you want to move. 
  2. Select the ⋯ menu next to the item and choose Move. To move multiple items, select the checkboxes next to them and choose Move from the selection bar.
  3. In the Move window, review the items you're moving.
  4. Choose where you want to move your content:
    1. Move to a folder: Browse the destination folder and select Move here.  
    2. Move questions into a poll: Open the destination poll and select Move into poll. The questions will appear after the poll's existing questions. 
  5. If prompted, review any changes to grades, sharing, or polls that would become empty. 
  6. Select Move to confirm if a review step appears. 

Note: When you move questions, their responses move with them.

This helps reduce clutter and makes it easier to find what you need during presentations or when sharing content.

Best Practices

  • Keep your folder names simple and clear (e.g., "Week 3 Activities" or "Midterm Review").
  • Organize by course, module, or activity type depending on your teaching or presentation style.
  • Regularly archive old or unused content into separate folders to reduce visual clutter.
