+This tutorial introduces the first two parts step by step. The questionnaire below, including a selection and a little scale, will provide the example for the manual:

 ===== Part 1: Creating Questions =====
@@ Line 136: / Line 139: @@
 Now your project contains two questions. However, the order in which they appear in the questionnaire is not set, yet. The order of questions, their distribution over various pages and filter questions (questions that determine whether particular other questions are displayed) are specified in the questionnaire.
-===== Part 2: Compiling Questions into a Questionnaire =====
+===== Part 2: Assembling Questions into a Questionnaire =====
 On the left, below the List of Questions, click on **Compose Questionnaire**.

 Select **Create new questionnaire**.
-First, enter a **Name** and a **Title** for the questionnaire. When using multiple questionnaires, a particular questionnaire can be selected via the name. The title is merely to keep an overview:
-  * **Name:** "set1"
+==== Questionnaire Pages ====
-  * **Title:** "My first questionnaire"
-The **Layout** option lets you select the design of the questionnaire. If you choose "Default layout of the project" here, you can determine the default layout by clicking on Questionnaire Layout on the left.
-**Tip:** Within **Questionnaire Layout**, you can activate different layouts or create one yourself. As long as you haven't activated a layout, SoSciSurvey uses a basic layout. It is worthwhile checking the questionnaire layouts at some point later.
-The other options are not relevant for this exemplary questionnaire. They are explained elsewhere (//Insert Link//).
-Create the questionnaire by clicking **OK**.
-The user interface for composing the questionnaire is displayed.
 As a default, the program creates a questionnare with 2 pages: the first page corresponds to an empty questionnaire page. The second page is special: it only contains a Thank-You note at the end of the survey. You can neither add questions nor flexible elements (PHP or HTML code) to this page. While the first page of the questionnaire only contains a "Next" button, participants can neither navigate forward nor backward from the last page.

 On the left, below the Questionnaire Pages, you can see **Page 01**, which does not contain any questions, yet.
+==== Placing Questions ====
 On the right you can see, amongst other things, the **Questions** you created. Using the mouse, drag **Question RT02** onto the empty page on the left.
@@ Line 196: / Line 190: @@
 The presentation of the questions looks alright, but not ideal, yet. Have a look at the chapter [[en:create:design|Optimising the Presentation of Questions]] if you're interested. This chapter continues at exactly this point, but does not fit within the announced 5 minutes.
+==== Publishing the Questionnaire ====
+In **Compose Questionnaire** you can already run a preview of the questionnaire ({{:button.run.gif?nolink|Run Questionnaire Preview}}). The public cannot yet access the questionnaire.
+To get the questionnaire online, publish it: First, you should add contact information (**Imprint and Logo**), then set the survey administration period at **Survey Project** -> **Project Settings** ([[:en:survey:publish|Set Survey Administration Period]]).
+**Note:** Before actually publishing your survey, some more settings shall be checked. Please refer to the chapter [[:en:survey:start|Preparing and Starting the Survey]].

   * You do not need to type in common questions regarding sociodemographics manually. When clicking on **New section** a couple of packages are readily available (currently only in German though).
   * SoSciSurvey does not offer any statistical data analysis, specific software packages (such as SPSS or GNU R) are more suitable for this. Simple data can also be analysed using a spreadsheet software (such as [[http://www.openoffice.org/|OpenOffice.org]] Calc or Microsoft Excel). How to access the collected data is described in the chapter [[en:results:start|Collected Data and Documentation]].
+  * At **Questionnaire Layout**, you can activate different layouts or create one yourself. As long as you haven't activated a layout, SoSci Survey uses a basic layout.
