Your first survey

A five-minute path from blank project to collected response.

1. Create the project

On the dashboard, create a new survey project and give it a title. You land in the Builder, the editing surface for questions and blocks.

2. Add a block and questions

A block is one page of the survey, participants see one block per screen with a submit button at the bottom. Use Add Block (or Add Block at Top) to create one, then Add Question inside it.

Each question starts as a Multiple Choice. Change its type from the dropdown in the question header, the editor migrates compatible content when you switch (choices become matrix columns, scales become slider matrices, and so on). Type the question text in place, add helper text underneath if you need it, and set the requirement (Required or Optional) in the header.

Everything saves automatically as you edit, watch for the confirmation toasts. Every change lands in the undo history, the undo and redo buttons in the header walk it backwards and forwards, and their dropdown arrows show the labeled history so you can jump several steps at once.

3. Preview it

Preview in the header opens the survey exactly as a participant will see it, in a separate tab. Preview runs are kept apart from real data, they are flagged as previews, never mix into exports, and are purged automatically (on publish and nightly). Inside a preview you can skip required questions and jump between blocks for fast checking, real participants cannot.

4. Publish and share

Click Publish. Publishing snapshots the current draft as the live version and points the project's permanent link at it. Copy the live link from the header and share it anywhere. Participants need no account.

5. Watch the data

The Data and Results tab shows responses as they arrive, with per-response detail and one-click exports. See Results and exports.
