Surveys form the basis of successful market research projects and insights management. Agile surveys are needed to develop research studies that are easy to manage, quick to deploy, and enable collaboration among distributed researchers and teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re excited to announce the successful launch of the survey edit<\/a> project! This marks a significant leap forward in handling survey editing, versioning, and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key goals of survey edit & collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As part of our commitment to bettering the research landscape for our customers, clients, and partners, we have improved our edit survey experience to smoothen the research process. The five key goals that this new survey experience will solve are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Scalability:<\/strong> Supports surveys with thousands of questions effortlessly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stability:<\/strong> Eliminates setup errors to streamline the user experience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Performance: <\/strong>Cuts survey-building time by 70%, offering a 10X improvement in efficiency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Collaboration:<\/strong> Resolves issues caused by concurrent edits across different devices or browser tabs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Versioning:<\/strong> Introduces survey versioning for better control over changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    These features have been rearchitectured over time and extensively tested to bring a proof of concept to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Features introduced in phase 1 of survey edit & collaboration<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The features introduced in our new survey edit and collaboration phase are as follows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Survey versioning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Every time a change is made to a survey, a new version is automatically saved. Users can preview and restore from a list of survey versions, ensuring full control over edits and updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Draft\/publish mode<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    When a new survey is created, it starts in Draft mode. Below is a quick overview of the two modes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Draft mode:<\/strong> The survey can be edited. Data collection (taking the survey) is paused.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Publish mode:<\/strong> Survey editing is disabled, and data collection is enabled.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      To edit a published survey, users will need to switch the survey back to Draft mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Real-time collaboration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Users can now share a survey link and collaborate with others to edit it in real time. Multiple users can work together on a survey, with changes reflected in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      You can watch a demo of how real-time survey collaboration works in the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
