Learn more about how questions look and feel in classic surveys.
The following question types are available in your survey:
-
Support for new features and question types.
Scripting, watermarking, subtitles, Rating questions, and carousel Grid questions were released recently for modern surveys; these features are not available in classic surveys. Going forward, new feature releases will be for modern surveys only.
-
A mobile first, more modern responding interface.
We've refreshed the look of question types in modern surveys. All mobile, tablet, and desktop participants get the same visually appealing question view. The responsive responding interface merely expands or shrinks to fill the device screen.
-
Better performance.
Modern surveys can handle a higher number of survey starts and have better overall responding load times.
To get started, create a new modern survey or convert a classic survey. For more information about modern surveys, see Questions in modern view.
