# The survey editor

> Write and arrange your questions, with a live preview beside them and every change saved as you go.

The editor has your survey on the left and a **Live preview** on the right. Changes save automatically: the header says **Saving…** and then **Saved**.

## The sections

The editor runs top to bottom:

1. **Details**: the **Title** customers see, an optional **Description**, the brand and logo (with **Edit brand**), and **Allow more than one response per device** (see below).
2. **Branding**: pick a colour palette, or **Manage palettes**. See [Brands, palettes and logos](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/build/branding).
3. **Link fields**: values you pass in the survey link, like an order number. See [Link fields and piping](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/build/link-fields).
4. **Questions**: your questions, then **Add question**.
5. **End screens**: what people see when they finish. See [Pages, logic and end screens](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/build/pages-and-logic#end-screens).

## Work with questions

- **Add a question**: choose **Add question** at the bottom of the list, then pick its type from the menu next to the question text. See [Question types](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/build/question-types).
- **Write it**: type the **Question**, and optionally a **Description (optional)** under it.
- **Make it required**: turn on **Required**. Customers can't continue without answering. Statements can't be required.
- **Reorder**: use **Move up** and **Move down** on the question.
- **Show it only sometimes**: choose **Add logic**. See [Pages, logic and end screens](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/build/pages-and-logic).
- **Delete it**: choose **Delete question**.
- **Insert an earlier answer**: the `{}` button in the question text inserts an answer or a link field. See [Link fields and piping](https://docs.hearsay.co.in/build/link-fields#piping).

Undo and redo are in the header (**⌘Z** and **⇧⌘Z**, or **Ctrl+Z** and **Ctrl+Shift+Z** on Windows).

## Test it in the preview

Answer the questions in the **Live preview** to check your logic: nothing you enter there is saved. Switch between desktop, tablet and phone sizes, or open it **Full screen**. **Preview** in the header opens the survey on its own page, exactly as customers see it.

## One response per device

By default each browser can answer a survey once; anyone coming back sees **You've already responded**. Turn on **Allow more than one response per device** for kiosks and shared tablets, where many customers answer on the same screen.

## Working with your team

Editors and above can change surveys. If two people edit at once and a teammate's change removes something you changed, Hearsay tells you and offers **Copy text** so you don't lose your words.
