4. Save and publish

  1. Save the reviewed logic

    On the final wizard step, click Save logic. Your changes join the survey draft. If the tutorial creates more than one rule or setting, complete and save every part before publishing.

  2. Confirm the draft is saved

    Close Logic. Wait for the builder’s save/sync status to complete. You can reopen Logic to check the saved rule or setting. Save logic does not by itself update the public survey.

  3. Publish the survey

    Click Publish in the builder, then Publish Now in the confirmation. Use the public link to test the published survey. After later edits, publish again before checking the live result.

  4. Test in a fresh respondent tab

    Start with a fresh public survey tab. If you already had an older published version open, reload and start a new response. Use a practice survey for test submissions.

5. Test the respondent experience

Run both the matching and alternative cases. Change answers and revisit earlier pages where the test asks you to, rather than testing only one path.

Common mistakes and useful limits

  • Do not choose an earlier page as a destination. Backward jumps are not supported.
  • If multiple destination rules match on the same page, the first matching rule in the rules list wins.
