Export questionnaire from Prepod and Import into local Author

The process will entail showing the questionnaire in JSON format, copying that and your local auth bearer token into the Postman application and posting a request to your local Author session to load the JSON of the questionnaire which will be available when you navigate back to your local Author home page.

Step 1: Copy the JSON

1. Go to a questionnaire e.g. -

2. Copy the <author-id> part from the path, in the previous example that would be

   9d59571f-329e-409c-b131-f46e10e34529

3. Add the <author-id> to the export route to display the JSON

   and using the example questionnaire we get
