It's always best to double-check! When you're finished drafting your survey and want to preview your work, you can do so in several ways.

Survey Author Preview

As the survey author or a Collaborator, Quick Preview offers the most flexibility for viewing and testing your survey.

1. From the Survey Editor page, click Quick Preview in the left sidebar. The preview will open in a new tab.
2. Click the X in the upper right to return to the Survey Editor.

💡 Tip: Use the QR Code generated in the upper left corner of the survey preview to quickly pull up the survey on a different device. Click the tablet or smartphone icon at the top left of the Quick Preview menu to activate the QR code.

⚠️ Note: You can preview the survey in three modes — see Preview Modes below for details.

Sharing the Survey

1. Click the share icon on the left side of the Survey Editor.
2. Click the Copy button at the bottom of the popup.
3. Send the URL to anyone — they can preview and test the survey as if they were a respondent. Their answers will not be recorded.
4. Check the box next to Enable researcher preview tool to allow collaborators to view in Researcher mode.

Direct Preview

While we recommend using the Quick Preview tool to review your entire survey before launch, you can also jump to a preview of individual questions from any point in the Survey Editor.

1. Hover over the space above the Question field to reveal the Preview link.
2. Click this link to jump into a Ghost Mode preview of that particular question.
3. Click the X in the upper right corner of Preview mode to return to the Survey Editor.

Preview Modes

On the Survey Editor page, click Quick Preview in the left sidebar to enter preview mode. There are three modes:

• Respondent Mode emulates a live survey experience. You'll need to follow all logic paths as a respondent would — all limits and logic are applied so you can focus on the text and flow of the survey. If you have quota groups set on your Target Market page, you can test each group; answering outside the selected group will terminate the survey.
• Researcher Mode lets you test logic paths with more flexibility than Respondent Mode. Click View/Logic options to toggle settings, and use the Q# dropdown to jump to specific questions.
  • Question Labels is on by default and shows question numbers as they appear in the Survey Editor. Turn it off to see the numbering respondents see.
  • Show Navigation Hints displays accept/reject markers on PQs and other backend navigation.
  • Show aytm Logic lets you view conditional logic (e.g. [show if Q1A1]). Logic routing is always active — this setting only controls whether the logic structure is visible.
• Ghost Mode offers the most transparency, letting you "walk through walls" by jumping to questions and viewing all programmed navigation and logic. You can see the survey structure but cannot test the logic — routing is always suppressed so you can move freely throughout the survey. Ghost Mode has the same controls as Researcher Mode, but always bypasses logic routing.
