Renaming a survey in SurveyMonkey is a straightforward process that allows you to update your survey's title to better reflect its content or purpose. This change is primarily visible to participants and helps organize your surveys within your account.
Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Survey Title
Follow these simple steps to easily update the name of your SurveyMonkey project:
-
Navigate to the Design Survey Section: Begin by logging into your SurveyMonkey account and selecting the survey you wish to rename. Once inside the survey editor, look for the Design Survey section. This is where you configure the structure and appearance of your questionnaire.
-
Locate and Edit the Survey Title: Within the Design Survey interface, position your mouse cursor over the existing survey title. A prominent Edit option will appear. Click on this to activate the title editing mode.
-
Enter Your New Survey Title: A dedicated field labeled "Survey Title" will become active. Type in the new, descriptive name you want for your survey here. Choose a title that is clear, concise, and accurately represents the survey's objective.
-
Configure Additional Options (Optional): While renaming, you may find other settings or visual elements accessible in this area. These could include options to add a logo, a survey description, or adjust other branding elements that appear alongside your title. Review these if you wish to make further adjustments.
-
Save Your Changes: After entering the new title and reviewing any additional options, click the Save button to apply your updates. Your survey will now display the new title to both you and your participants.
Practical Insights for Naming Your Survey
A well-chosen survey title can significantly impact participant engagement and the overall clarity of your data collection. Here are some tips and important distinctions:
-
Clarity and Conciseness: Your title should immediately convey the survey's topic. Avoid jargon or overly long phrases.
- Good Example: "Customer Satisfaction Survey - Q3 2024"
- Less Effective: "An Investigation into Consumer Perceptions Regarding Recently Launched Product Features within the Third Quarter of the Current Fiscal Year"
-
Be Specific: If your survey targets a particular group or has a specific focus, include that in the title.
- "Employee Feedback on Hybrid Work Policy"
- "Website User Experience Review - Homepage"
-
Consider Your Audience: Tailor the language of your title to resonate with your intended participants.
-
Survey Title vs. Web Link: It's crucial to understand that renaming your survey only changes the visible title. It does not alter the unique web link (URL) generated for your survey. If you share your survey link after changing the title, the existing link will still work, but the page itself will display the new title.
| Aspect | Description |
|---|---|
| Survey Title | The name that appears at the top of your survey for participants and within your SurveyMonkey account. This is editable. |
| Survey Web Link | The unique URL (e.g., surveymonkey.com/r/ABCDE123) that directs users to your survey. This generally remains constant even if the title changes. |
