Edit a Live Survey
SurveyGizmo allows you to edit live surveys at your own risk. Certain actions should never be a problem (adding questions, editing wording, reordering options) while other changes will greatly affect your data (deleting questions, deleting options, changing reporting values, etc.).
If you want to remove a question or option from the survey but not lose the data associated with it, we recommend disabling the question.
- Go to the Project tab-->Create & Edit
- Click on edit (pencil) icon next to the question you want to disable.
- Click on the Advanced tab.
- Select "Yes" next to Disable Question and Save.
Disabling questions prevents the survey taker from seeing the question but still allows the data to be used in reports and exports.
