Previewing the questionnaire allows you to see how it will appear to responders before launching your project.
This helps you review the structure, wording, rating scale, and overall experience from a responder’s perspective.
Why Previewing Matters
Previewing your questionnaire helps ensure that responders will have a smooth and clear experience when completing it.
Previewing allows you to:
- Confirm that questions are clear and easy to understand
- Check the flow and structure of sections
- Ensure rating scales are displayed correctly
- Review instructions and customized text
- Verify the placement of narrative comment questions
- Assess the overall length and usability of the questionnaire
- Identify any errors, inconsistencies, or duplicate questions before launch
Taking time to preview can prevent issues after launch. Try to view the questionnaire from the perspective of someone completing it for the first time.
How to Preview the Questionnaire
To preview your questionnaire:
- Go to the Questionnaire section within your project
- Select the Preview Questionnaire option
- Review the questionnaire as it would appear to a responder
You can move through the questionnaire to simulate the full experience.
Tips for Effective Previewing
- Read each question carefully as if you were a responder
- Check for unclear or ambiguous wording
- Check for redundant questions that may confuse responders
- Ensure instructions are easy to follow
- Look for formatting or structural issues
- Make adjustments before launching your project
Important Considerations
- Previewing does not affect your live project
- Changes should be made before sending invitations
- Once your project is launched, changes may impact results
