Use this guide to archive a survey you no longer want to distribute, while keeping its responses. For survey creators.
Archiving makes a survey unavailable for distribution and stops it from collecting new responses. It does not delete the survey or its responses. You can still view, analyze and export the collected data.
An archived survey stays in the survey list. To see only archived surveys, click the Archived count on the left of the list or filter the list by status.
You cannot unarchive a survey, so it cannot be published again. Attendees can no longer open it.
Archive a survey
- Open InPoll and go to the Surveys tab.
- Select the published survey.
- In the panel on the left, find the status path with Draft, Published and Archived.
- Click Archived.
InPoll archives the survey straight away and shows a success message. It does not ask you to confirm, so check that you have the right survey first.
Good to know
- Only a published survey can be archived.
