Can I edit a survey after I launch it?

Yes, you can edit a survey in Gallup Access even after it's launched. This includes updating respondents, reporting groups, and survey questions.

However, be cautious: making changes once responses have started—especially to survey questions—can affect data consistency. Typo fixes are usually fine, but larger edits may impact results.

Note: For surveys with more than 100 participants, we recommend consulting your Gallup representative before making significant changes.

How do I edit an active survey?

  1. Navigate to Menu > Surveys and click the name of the active survey you'd like to edit.
  2. Make your desired changes.
  3. Go to the Review tab and click Publish Changes to save your edits and apply them to respondents who haven't yet started the survey.

Important: Respondents who already completed the survey before your edits should not complete it again. Their original responses will remain on file, and resubmitting will create duplicate responses.
