Hello,

We're trying to set up a study that has the same survey being given to the same set of participants over time, and so we're using the iterate survey function. However, it seems that previous responses that the participants have entered are saved, and so when participants are emailed the link to the survey again, they can see what they answered last time.

Is there a way to clear all the responses so that when participants complete follow-up surveys, they don't see their previous answers?

Thanks!

Try turning off token-answer persistence. (Always test on a sample survey before your live survey)

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply! I tried turning off token-answer persistence in a new test survey, but then the option to iterate the survey doesn't appear. Does that mean that it is not possible to use the iterate survey feature while clearing out all responses?
