Adding answer choices

Translation

If your survey is translated, please adapt the translation each time you edit or add content.

When adding or editing the content of your survey, active translations are automatically switched off. To reactivate them:

• Go to the Survey languages tab

• Translate the added/edited content

• Re-enable translation

Deleting a question or an answer choice

If you delete a question or answer choice from a survey that has already collected responses, all data associated with the question or choice will be lost.

For answer choices, we recommend hiding the answer choice rather than deleting it. This way, the answer choice will no longer be visible to respondents, but you will retain all associated data.
