	如果您在較早前曾導出問卷，您亦可以在 "新增問卷" 的頁面導入問卷。您只需要　Click　選瀏覽按鈕選擇 sql/csv 檔案，然後　click 　選有關按鈕。導入過程會讀取LimeSurvey建立的格式︰		From version 1.50 to 1.92 it was possible to import surveys from the command line (or shell). To use this functionality, you need to have access to the shell and the PHP interpreter has to be configured to allow shell execution of scripts.

	~~'sql' 檔案，並 '乖巧地' (我故意使用這個字眼) 重新為問卷、組別、題目、答案及條件敘述編號，讓彼此可以互相配對。詳見輸出問卷的章節.~~
	*LimeSurvey (PHPSurveyor) v0.98 - v1.0 建立的 .SQL 檔案
	*LimeSurvey (PHPSurveyor) v1.45 or 以上版本建立的 .CSV 檔案

	~~這樣你就可以從舊有版本導入舊問卷了~~

	~~'有智慧地' 導入(我喜用這個術語) ，可以重排問卷，重排組別、題目、答案以至條件設定，令到彼此可以合作無間。詳見 [[導出問卷]].~~

	~~----~~

	自 1.50 版本起，可以透過系統的命令列(或 shell 層面) 執行導入問卷的工作。為此你先要使用 shell 層面，配合 PHP 組譯器的組態設定，讓源程序可以執行 shell 的核心指令。

	~~這功能用處很大，特別是在大型的問卷導入工作時，常會出現 timeout 的問題。~~

	~~使用方法是在shell 命令列進入 limesurvey/admin 資料夾執行:~~

	~~php cmdline_importsurvey <導入的文件檔> <nowiki>[</nowiki><持分者> <密碼>]~~
	*<導入的文件檔> 必須為上述格式的文件檔
	*<持分者> 必須為有權建立新問卷的持分者
	<password> 持分者的密碼 <br /><持分者> 及 <密碼> 只有在存取控制已啟用才用得著。

	~~如果你需要找出參數，你可以執行:~~

	~~php cmdline_importsurvey -h~~

	~~If you have previously exported a survey structure, you can import it from the "Create, import, or copy survey" screen.~~
	~~To get there just click the 'Create, import, or copy a survey' icon [[File:Add.png]] and in the following screen click on the 'Import' tab.~~
	~~Click on the browse button to choose the file, and then click on the ''Import survey' button.~~

	~~The import process reads the following formats:~~
	*.[[Exporting_a_survey_structure#Export_survey_structure_.28.lss.29\|LSS files]] (XML-format created by LimeSurvey 1.90 or later)
	*.[[Exporting_a_survey_structure#Export_survey_archive_.28.lsa.29\|LSA files]] (Survey archive which may include also token, responses and timings - available since LimeSurvey 2.0)
	*.[[Exporting_a_survey_structure#Export_tab-separated-values_format_.28.txt.29_.28New_in_2.0_.29\|TXT files]] (Text-format created by Excel - available since LimeSurvey 2.0)
	*.CSV files (Created by early LimeSurvey versions from 1.50 to 1.90)

	That way you can import old surveys from previous versions. The import 'intelligently' re-numbers the survey, group, question, answer, and condition IDs so that they all match each other - '''no existing surveys will be overwritten.''' See the section on [[Exporting a survey structure]] for more information.
