You can choose these screening question types as knockout questions:

Yes/No, Single choice, Multiple choice

Within the template, you can also click … next to a template’s name to set it as default, duplicate, or delete it. Here you can also see how many and in which jobs the template is used.

Drag and drop screening questions templates into your preferred order within its category to easily find them.
