Respond to a survey
Applies To
SharePoint Server 2016 SharePoint in Microsoft 365 Windows SharePoint Services 3.0A survey often provides valuable feedback to an organization such as on how the company's doing or peoples opinion on a product or service. For more info on surveys, see Create a survey.
To respond to a survey, you must have permission to contribute to the survey. Depending on how a survey is set up, you may be able to respond to a survey only once.
If you cannot finish answering all survey questions within the same session (e.g. you have to step away from your computer, etc.) select Finish then save the partial response. Depending on the survey settings created by the survey author, you may be able to open your response later to edit or finish.
The survey author also has the choice of making questions required, which will bring up a warning if you don't answer the required questions. A survey response is considered complete after the respondent views every page, answers required questions, and then selects Finish.
