How can I view the version history of a Survey in a Library? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi,

I’ve made several versions of a Survey in my Library and I’d like to be able to compare two of them. The only issue, I don’t know how to access the versions.

  1. Is it possible to view saved versions, and if so, how?
  1. If it’s not possible, then what is the purpose of saving versions in a Library?

Thank you,

JackieR

​​Hi @jackier

There are 3 main uses for surveys in your Library:

  • To create multiple copies of the same survey for use in your account.
  • To share static surveys to a group or organization.
  • To use in conjunction with the Reference Survey feature to insert the same set of questions and logic into multiple surveys.

It’s like a final static template that you save in a bookshelf and use later. It should be completed already, not in developing with different versions.

If you still making change in your Survey, Qualtrics actually auto-save the version for you
 

Hope this helps


Hi Nam,

Thank you for your response. It does help. But, I'm still a tad unsure. Is this correct:

If I have a reference to a survey from within a survey, if I make a change to the survey that's referenced (i.e., the survey in the library), is there a version history with the change made to the referenced survey? I'm guessing no. Is that correct?

@jackier Honestly I don’t know because I haven’t tried it. Why don’t you test yourself it and find out?


@jackier,  you're right. it doesn't provide a version history or change log for modifications made to referenced content. If you happen to find an alternative workaround, feel free to share!


Hi Umang,

Thank you for confirming. If I find a workaround, I’ll definitely share it.

 

Thanks again too, Nam.
