- You can resume the surveys or tests at any time, i.e. the previously received votes are retained and additional users can participate in the survey.
- You can also reset them to 0 and continue them as surveys or tests without the previously received votes.
- You can make a copy and make an arbitrary number of changes on the copy. This is convenient, e.g. when a survey has already run for a week, and you would like to restart this type of survey or test, perhaps with other answers or a modified formulation of the question.
- You can also delete them from the list of stopped surveys if you no longer need the results of the survey or test.
- The visibility of stopped surveys may be changed by clicking on the eye . The closed eye means that the survey or test cannot be viewed by others on your profile or on the institution’s page; with an open eye other users of the system can see the results of stopped surveys or tests under “Expired surveys”.
