Previewing Surveys

All about previewing

Before you publish, preview!

Previewing lets you double-check your survey before publishing and sending it to your recipients. Importantly, previewing doesn’t capture data or increase your response count — so preview all you like!

There are other benefits too:

1	The preview is an accurate recreation of what your survey takers will experience
2	Switch smoothly between desktop and mobile views
3	Tastefully touch-up your survey's look and feel → with a click of the "paintbrush" icon

Previewing Drafts (or Unpublished) surveys

Preview, then return to your editing page and change anything you don't like in your "Drafts" or "Unpublished" surveys section — which are also identified by a tag on their survey cards. (See Editing Surveys)

To locate the preview option:

1: Click "My surveys → then click open the "Drafts" tab
2: Select any "Unpublished" survey card
3: Locate the "Preview" button near the top of the editing page

To preview:

1: Click the "Preview" button → as marked as #3 above
2: Take the survey as if you are a participant → by selecting responses and tapping the "Next" and "Previous" buttons
3: Flip through the questions → using the "forward" and "backward" arrows
4: Click the "mobile" preview icon located at the bottom of the page
5: If you’ve included logic → test each condition
6: If you've added a link to a Thank you message → test it too!
7: Click "← Back to editing" and make your corrections!

Previewing a Published survey

When you open a Published survey, you’ll be taken to your 'Results' page — so there’s an extra step required to open the Preview option. There are also limitations on what you can change if you catch a mistake — as explained in Editing Published (vs. Unpublished) surveys.

To preview a Published survey:

1: Click on the survey's card from the "Published" section of the Surveys index
2: Click the "Edit survey" button on the Results page
3: Click the "Preview" button
4: Preview as explained above → in the "Unpublished" section
5: Click "← Back to editing" to close the preview

Changing your survey's branding as you preview

To customize your survey's look and feel as you preview:

1: Open your survey's editing page
2: Click "Preview"
3: Click the "paintbrush" icon → and change the logo, buttons, and color value
4: Save your changes
