Previewing your survey

Check how your survey will look and behave before you launch

Updated yesterday

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.

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.


Share your preview

You can open the preview in a new tab and share the preview link with colleagues in your organisation. This is useful for getting a second pair of eyes on the survey before launch.
