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 "Collaborate 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 (aka, speech bubbles) to the right of your questions, Welcome, and Thank you messages.
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Collaborators can preview your Unpublished survey and add comments to specific questions, as well as make suggestions to your Welcome and Thank you messages.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 very good thing!)
