# Set up a feedback activity

## Adding a feedback activity

To create a feedback activity:

1. Click **Turn editing on**.
2. Select **Feedback** from the **Add an activity...** dropdown menu.
3. Configure the [settings](/totara-20/docs/feedback-activity-settings) to your preferences.
4. Click **Save and display** or **Save and return to course**.

If you add a feedback activity to the front page then it becomes a site-wide activity, meaning it can be used by any course. By default it will be added to the feedback block on all courses (where the [**Feedback block**](/totara-20/docs/available-blocks) has been added). See also [**Map feedback activities**](/totara-20/docs/map-feedback-activities).

## Adding questions

Once you have created your feedback activity you can add questions.

1. In the feedback activity go to the **Edit questions** section.
2. Choose a [question type](/totara-20/docs/feedback-activity-question-types) from the dropdown menu.
3. Configure the question as required.
4. Click **Save question**.

You can also load pre-written questions by [using a template](/totara-20/docs/use-a-feedback-template). You may also want to [configure question dependencies](/totara-20/docs/configure-feedback-question-dependencies).

You can preview questions using the **Overview** section. Go to this section and then click the **Answer the questions...** link.
