Is it possible to convert an existing saved document and connected Q&A to a binder?
A possible solution would be to create a new binder and then send it to Q&A again, but some parts get lost when importing a copy of a card (e.g. categories of cards and conditions for switching default answers).
It’s not entirely clear to me what you try to do (could you perhaps explain?), but just to be sure — the “Change document underlying this Q&A” button is not relevant for your situation?
I have never seen this button before :-), but I believe this would indeed solve my problem. I checked the documentation on Q&As, but I can’t find why I’m not able to click this button?
It’s disabled when you have not yet saved the Q&A before, or when there are outstanding undos. (In other words: hit save first!)
(I just changed the button to give this hint, thanks for the implicit suggestion.)
Solved, thanks!
(I saved the document but closing and opening again did solve it)
I’m sorry to bump this topic, but this question is related.
Is there a button to convert an existing document to a binder?
I have an existing document with a Q&A and I would like to change the underlying document to a binder. I know I can change the underlying document (with the orange button) but I first need to create the binder.
Does this mean that I first have to create a new binder and add all the clauses again? Or is there a way I can make a copy of the existing document and convert that copy in a binder?
A Binder itself does not contain anything — it always needs to have at least one sub-document that contains the actual “meat”. So the Binder is kind of like the shelf on which you place individual books (= sub-documents).
To answer your question: you need to create a Binder, add the existing document as a Subdocument to that Binder, then save the Binder, and (using the orange button) switch the Q&A to the saved Binder.
