You can hide a question in a survey instead of removing a question from a survey.

Advantage of hiding rather than removing a question

  • Survey Analysis is unaffected. When you remove a question from a survey, the previous responses retain their answers to the removed question, but the removed question is no longer displayed on either the Analyse Survey Results or Survey Analytics pages. (However you can still analyse a question on a Progress Board even if that question has been removed from a survey.)

How to hide a question

There are several ways to hide a question in a survey.
