There are multiple types of questions that you can add to your site.

Where questions are located

You can add questions to these content types:

In sessions, questions are used for live polls in sessions, so users only have a limited time to answer them. You can add questions to the session description if you want them to be available before, during, and after the session.

For the other content types, questions go in the description and are available to answer as long as the content is available.

Learn how to add questions in the front-end editor.
