Question Packs

How to import questions from a spreadsheet

Use the Packslet spreadsheet template to upload, review, and import questions into a question pack.

  1. Visit packslet.com and click the Login button.
  2. Create a new question pack or open an existing pack in your library. No question pack yet? See How to create a question pack.
  3. If the pack is empty, click Import a spreadsheet in the question area. If the pack already contains questions, open the three-dot menu near the pack title and select Import a spreadsheet.
  4. In the Import from a spreadsheet window, click Get the template. This opens Google Sheets so you can save a copy to your own Drive.
  5. Add one question per row. Keep the header row and column order unchanged: Question, Choice A, Choice B, Choice C, Choice D, and Correct Answer.
  6. Enter the question and fill in Choice A and Choice B. Choice C and Choice D are optional. For a true/false question, enter True and False as the two choices. In Correct Answer, enter the letter of the correct choice, such as A or B.

Note: You can import up to 100 questions at a time. Keep each question to 300 characters or fewer and each answer choice to 150 characters or fewer.

  1. Download the sheet as a CSV. The import window gives the Google Sheets menu path: File → Download → Comma Separated Values (.csv).
  2. Return to Packslet and select the file under Upload your CSV. Use a CSV file under 2 MB; Excel files ending in .xlsx or .xls are not accepted.
  3. Once the file is read, review the questions, answer choices, and highlighted correct answers. All questions are selected by default. Clear the checkbox beside any question you do not want to import, or use Deselect all and choose questions individually.

Tip: If any rows could not be read, check the row numbers and messages, fix the spreadsheet, and download a new CSV. Click Choose another file to upload the corrected version before importing. If your sheet has more than 100 questions, put the remaining questions in a second file with the same header row.

  1. Click Import number to pack to save the selected questions. The window closes, and the questions are added to your pack alongside any existing questions. You can use the Edit button beside an imported question to revise it afterward.
