### **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](https://help.swarmia.com/use-cases/run-developer-experience-surveys/creating-a-survey).

### **Close**

Close a live survey for responses and [access the results](https://help.swarmia.com/use-cases/run-developer-experience-surveys/viewing-and-sharing-survey-results). A closed survey can't be re-opened.

### **Delete**

Permanently delete a survey or draft.

### **Edit survey**

Add new teams to audience, or change the end date.

### View the survey audience

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