Track changes, create draft branches, and restore previous versions of your survey.

Steps

  1. Open version history
    In the survey editor, click the Version History button to see a timeline of all saved versions with timestamps and descriptions.
  2. Compare versions
    Select any two versions to see a diff of what changed: added questions, modified text, updated logic, and removed items.
  3. Create a draft branch
    For published surveys, click Create Draft to make a working copy. Edit the draft without affecting the live survey. When ready, publish the draft to replace the active version.
  4. Restore a previous version
    Click Restore on any version to roll back the survey to that point. The current version is preserved in the history.

Version history gives you a safety net when editing surveys. Every save creates a new version you can return to.

Draft branches let you iterate on a published survey without disrupting live data collection. Publish the draft when you are confident in the changes.

Version comparison shows a clear diff, making it easy to review changes before publishing or restoring.
