Survey actions

Here's what you can do to draft live, unpublished, and published surveys on the Surveys tab.

You can access the following actions by clicking ... in the Actions column:

survey-actions

Preview

Open a popup showing how the respondents saw, see, or will see the survey. You can respond as if you belong to any team, but your submission won't be recorded.

Duplicate

Start creating a new survey based on another one. You can make changes before launching the new survey.

Close

Close a live survey for responses and access the results. A closed survey can't be re-opened.

Delete

Permanently delete a survey or draft. You can only delete surveys without any responses.

View the survey audience

To see the exact people included in the survey audience, click the team avatars in the Teams column.

live-survey-team-preview

You can't remove people from the survey after launching it. The team structure and memberships will be saved as a static "snapshot" when the survey goes live. New people in the teams will be automatically added to live surveys, but no other changes will be made.

Example: You launch a survey for Team Yellow. After that, you add Jane to the team and remove John from it. Both Jane and John will be included in the survey.

View participation by the team

Click the indicator in the Participation column to see the response rates in each team. It’s also available for live surveys to help remind the teams falling behind others.
