*'''Survey status:''' There are four types of buttons that you might see on the left part of the toolbar, depending on the status of your survey:
**[[File:Button - activate this survey.png]] : It is displayed if the survey is inactive. Click on this button for activating the survey. To see the URL of the survey, check the ''Survey URL'' box located in the [[Overview#Survey summary|Survey summary section]];
**[[File:Button - stop this survey.png]] : It shows up if the survey is active. Click on this button if you wish to stop the survey (it cannot be accessed anymore by the respondents);
**[[File:Button - execute survey.png]]: If the survey is active, you can click on the '''Execute survey''' button to check and fill out the survey. The difference between this option and '''Preview survey''' is that the latter does not store your answers while the former does;
**[[File:Button - expired survey.png]] : It is displayed if the survey has expired. To reactivate it, click on the button to access the [[Publication & access|publication and access control settings]] to change the start or expiry date/time of the survey.
*'''Preview survey:''' It allows you preview the survey. The green arrow appears when your survey is multilingual. Click on each language to separately check the multilingual versions of your survey.

**''Reset conditions:'' All the survey conditions will be removed;
**''Survey logic file:'' It checks the logic of your survey. It is utilized when more advanced features are used within the survey. For more details, read [[Show_logic_file|our wiki section on survey logic]];
**''Regenerate question codes:'' The users that have the permission to edit questions can allocate an unique ID to any survey question. However, if these IDs differ too much (the numbering is too messy), the '''Regenerate question codes''' function can be used to automatically rename the survey questions. The numbering can be:
***''Straight:'' If this options is used, each question will be allocated a code that corresponds to their order from the [[Survey structure|survey structure]] (e.g. Q00001, Q0002, etc.);
***''By question group:'' If this option is chosen, each question will be allocated a code that corresponds to the group each of them belong to and their order within that question group: (G1Q00001, G1Q00002, G2Q00001, etc.).
*'''Display/Export:''' For a comprehensive description of this functionality, check our wiki page on [[Exporting_a_survey_structure|LimeSurvey export functionality]];
*'''Survey participants:''' It is used when you would like to invite a group of people to be part of your survey and ensure that each person can only participate once. For further details, check the [[Survey_participants|survey participants wiki page]];
*'''Responses:''' It offers the survey administrator access to menus that allows him/her to see the stored responses, enter new data, export or import answers, and view the partially saved but not submitted answers. By clicking on the arrow, three options will show up:
**''Responses & Statistics:'' It displays a summary of all the stored survey responses and respondents;
