Survey Operations

Survey Operations covers how to run studies consistently in production: create, update, embed, review, and delete surveys without losing context.

Lifecycle Stages

  • Drafting — define the research question and survey type
  • Embedded Collection — gather responses wherever your website or app renders the survey component
  • Removed from Embed — stop showing the survey by removing or disabling the embed in your own codebase
  • Deleted — remove the survey and associated data according to deletion and retention rules

Core Operations

  • Create — launch a new survey from the dashboard wizard
  • Edit — revise copy, options, or settings for active studies
  • Copy Embed Instructions — retrieve the public key and framework-neutral component instructions
  • Remove Embed — ask your team or coding agent to stop rendering the survey where it appears
  • Delete — clean up old studies with a destructive-action confirmation

Operational Standards

  1. Use descriptive survey names with context and date (for example, Pricing Page Q2 2026)
  2. Track major configuration changes in release notes or internal docs
  3. Avoid editing live surveys during critical reporting windows
  4. Remove superseded survey embeds from your product code
