We’ve also heard repeated requests for something else you want: improved collaboration tools. And that’s why we’re pleased to introduce an important new feature we’ve just added: Editor Notes.

In the past, your best bet for getting feedback on a survey was resorting to the tried-and-true “email flood” technique. You know what that is, right? It’s the one where you send out a survey test link to the rest of your colleagues, then wait for a few minutes until your inbox is flooded with suggestions about things that don’t work or don’t look right in the survey.

You might have also experienced the popular “passive-aggressive co-worker” scenario, where one of your colleagues goes into the survey and makes changes on their own. (And doesn’t let anyone know about it, naturally.) If you’ve experienced this particular situation, you know that it’s not very fun to login to a survey you’ve spent lots of time building, only to find that a question changed by a co-worker has messed up all your logic.

At SurveyGizmo, we’re not a fan of either of the above scenarios. And we want to make it easier for you to collaborate with your teams to create amazing surveys. Which is why we’ve launched Editor Notes!

Editor Notes are quick notes that you can add to your in-design survey. If you have a multi-user account, you can have discussions about your survey’s elements with other account users. The back-and-forth can go on as long as you want it to.

If you have a single-user account, Editor Notes still work for you! You can use them to create notes to yourself about different elements, or annotate your surveys for future reference.

Additionally, if you contact our awesome Support team with a question about a specific survey question, we can now leave you Notes in your survey about your issue. (Sometimes it’s easier to see the solution right inside your survey, rather than having to go back and forth from a support ticket.)

The collaboration possibilities are endless.

We’ve made Editor Notes really easy to use. To create an Editor Note, just click on the Add Note link at the top right of any element in the survey editor. If notes have already been added to a survey element, you’ll see a running tally in place of the Add Note link.

Editor Notes are active in your account now – go give them a try!
