What happens if I enable randomization of pages, questions, or answer choices in an ongoing survey?
If you enable randomization of pages, questions, or answer choices during an ongoing survey, the new settings will only be displayed to new participants.
Participants who are currently taking the survey or who have paused it and resume it later will not see the randomization. What happens to participants who are currently taking the survey if I change an existing randomization?
The change of a randomization behaves as follows:
Changing the randomization of questions & answers on the fly
All participants who have not arrived to the changed page, will see the new settings when they enter the survey page. For participants who have already completed the survey page, the changes will not apply. For participants who have left the survey right on this page and return, the randomization cannot be disabled on this page. Due to technical reasons, no randomization is possible in this case.
Changing the randomization with a newly added page in an ongoing survey
When a new page is added to a running survey and it is randomized, the new page is only visible for new participants. For active participants, or participants who return the survey later, the new page is not visible.
