Before you launch a survey, it’s important to preview it from a respondent’s point of view. Previewing helps you catch issues early and make sure the experience works as intended.
Use preview to see the respondent experience
While drafting your survey, you can select Preview from the top right of the editor. This opens an interactive preview that shows your survey exactly as respondents will see it.
In preview mode, you can:
Answer questions as a respondent would
Check that wording, answer options and text cards read clearly
Make sure images, video and audio display correctly
Test routing and display logic
Most respondents complete surveys on mobile devices, so preview mode shows the mobile experience by default.
If you’d like to experience the survey in a more realistic way, you can open the preview in full screen.
How to view the full survey preview
Open your survey.
Click Preview.
Select View survey to open the survey in a full preview window.
This opens the survey in the same format your respondents will see, so you can click through questions and check the flow from start to finish.
Sharing the full preview
You can also share this full preview with others.
Once you have opened View survey, you can use Copy link or Copy public link to share it with:
Team members who have access to Attest
Colleagues who do not have an Attest account
External stakeholders or clients
If needed, make sure your survey permissions allow public access so that anyone with the link can view it.
Sharing the full preview is helpful when you need feedback or approval before launch. The preview link shows the survey experience only and does not collect live responses or affect your results.
Test different paths and audiences
As you move through the preview, you can use the arrows or click on cards in the preview sidebar to jump between questions.
If your survey includes multiple audiences or languages, you can toggle between audiences to see how the experience changes for different respondents.
To test more complex logic, try answering questions in different ways to make sure respondents are taken down the correct paths.
