Once your form is published, participants will be able to start leaving feedback. It is possible to edit a form that is already published, but you should note the following conditions:

  • Deleting questions without responses - If a question on a live survey has not received any responses, you can remove it with no impact.
  • Editing questions with responses. If you edit a question that has already received responses, you can modify the text of the question name and description. However you will not be able to change the question type. If there is a multiple choice question that has received responses. See 'Hide a question' to remove a question from public view and be able to view results in your data.
  • Deleting questions with responses. If you delete a question that already has collected responses, the question will be removed from the data and report and you will not be able to recover this data (unless you revert to a previous version). If you have a multiple choice question, and the options have not received any responses, these can also be deleted.

Be advised it is not recommended to edit live forms after you have published them, as this can have consequences for the data you collect.
