All about collaboration
Seeking advice from colleagues on your questionnaires has never been easier. The collaboration feature even allows non-Delighted users to lend a hand.
Copy your collaborator's link from one of two places:
- 1
- Open your survey's editing page
- 2
- Click the Collaborate button → or any of the comment icons (which look like speech bubbles)
- 3
- Copy the collaboration link from either spot
To invite your editors and reviewers:
- 1
- Send the link to your collaborators → and have them enter it into their browsers
- 2
- Instruct your editors to click any comment icon to the right of any question, Welcome or Thank you message → and enter their suggestions
- Entering names is optional → ex. "Hilary" (Otherwise, a collaborator's name will appear as "Anonymous")
Use the collaboration feature with your Reports too! Get feedback from colleagues before sharing out your official findings. Check out Creating and Sharing Reports for more.
Adding, reviewing, and resolving comments
Open your survey editing page and look for the comment icons to the right of your questions, Welcome, and Thank you messages. (They look like a speech bubbles!)
When the bubble is:
1. Pulsing Red | A new comment has arrived! |
2. Blue | A comment has been made and read → but is unresolved |
3. Grey | No comment has been entered → or the comment is resolved |
Reading and adding comments
To read comments → or to add comments of your own:
- 1
- Hover over a question, Welcome, or Thank you card → and click the comment bubble
- 2
- Review and add your comments
- 3
- Click Add comment
Reading, resolving and deleting comments
To read, resolve, and delete comments:
- 1
- Click a blue comment bubble to read the suggestions
- 2
- Select Resolve next to any comment to remove it

The collaborator experience
Collaborators can preview your Unpublished survey and add comments to specific questions, as well as make suggestions to your Welcome and Thank you messages. When a collaborator views your survey, they'll see intuitively how to Preview and add comments.
The first time they Add a comment, they'll also have the option of adding their name — otherwise, their comments will come through as "Anonymous."
However, your collaborators have a strategic limitation — they can't edit your survey! (Trust us: this is a good thing!)
