Exporting Answers

April 27, 2026

All exports include a 'Completed Questionnaire' and a 'References' folder. Exports vary depending on your type of questionnaire format.

For the best experience, we recommend always uploading a blank questionnaire. This will ensure 1up can detect all relevant queries, requirements, dropdowns, checkboxes, and answer locations.

Use Document Editor to Preview Your Export

Open Document Editor to preview exactly how your export will look before downloading. Edit answers, move content, and finalize the layout.

Document Editor supports Excel, Word, and CSV for now. PDF support coming soon.

Excel and CSV Exports

Excel exports are designed to mirror the structure of your original spreadsheet while automatically inserting high-quality responses generated by 1up.

What’s Included

• Your preferred response for every query.
• Automatic selection of up to 3 dropdown values, when applicable.
• A folder of reference files used to generate answers.
• All valid answer outputs, excluding system responses such as “I don't know.”

How Answer Placement Works

1up attempts to detect the correct cell for each answer and will automatically insert responses next to the corresponding question.

Pre-existing answers will not be overwritten by 1up.

• For text answers, new answers will be exported to the rightmost column.
• Dropdowns with already selected values will be ignored.

If an Answer Location Can’t Be Detected

If 1up cannot confidently determine where an answer belongs, you’ll receive a notification letting you know. These answers will still be exported to the rightmost column so you can reposition them manually.

If 1up Got the Wrong Answer Column

Sometimes answers may appear in a hidden or incorrect column. Switch to Document Editor mode, highlight the correct column, then right-click and select “Set Answer Column Here.”

DOCX Exports

When exporting your questionnaire to DOCX, 1up automatically organizes your content to make the document easy to review and edit.

What’s Included

• Your preferred response for every query.
• A folder of reference files used to generate each answer.
• All valid answer outputs, excluding system responses such as “I don't know.”

How Answer Placement Works

1up attempts to detect where each answer should be inserted within the document.

In most cases, answers are placed directly next to their corresponding question.

If an Answer Location Can’t Be Detected

On rare occasions, 1up can’t confidently determine the correct placement for a specific answer. When this happens, you’ll receive a notification titled “Missing Answer Locations Detected.”

This message indicates:

• 1up wasn’t fully certain about the placement of one or more answers.
• You can click the provided link to review all affected responses.
• These answers are still included in your export—they’ll appear in a separate file named Missing_Answer_Locations, allowing you to copy and paste them into the document manually.

PDF Exports

When exporting your questionnaire to PDF, 1up provides clean, structured files to help you review answers and prepare documents for final delivery.

What’s Included

• An answer file containing your preferred response for every query.
• A folder of reference files used to generate each answer.
• All valid answer outputs, excluding system responses such as “I don't know.”

Important Note About PDFs

1up can modify text fields, multiple choice options, and dropdowns. If an answer location cannot be detected, the PDF file will be annotated with answers.

Web Portals

Web-based Questionnaires are automated with the Browser Extension and cannot be exported. See instructions for Chrome and Edge.
