To switch the display between having eForms or questions at the top level, select View > Group Question List by eForm.
When this option is checked, the tree displays all the eForms in the study. See image Clicking the plus sign beside an eForm displays the questions and question groups belonging to the eForm.

It is possible to delete all unused questions in one action.
