Published VS draft version | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi,
I published a survey project about four weeks ago (9 August). I reviewed my questions in the questionnaire for several after publishing but I did not make any changes. And the sign showed "Published" all the time.
I logged on to Qualtrics again this afternoon to check responses I have received and reviewed few questions (I did not make any changes as well). When the time I want to log out I found the signal "Published" has been turned to "Draft". I was really shocked as I did not make any changes. I checked the version history it shows that three versions have been saved today (see picture attached). My question is:
Q1. Is it normal?
Q2. Will it affect the invitations I sent out? What about future invitation?
Q3. Why this happened?
Thanks!

Q1. Is it normal?

Q2. Will it affect the invitations I sent out? What about future invitation?

Q3. Why this happened?

Q1. I have a survey which does this as I am constantly checking the embedded data and making changes to the results afterwards. It's not unheard of, but should it be happening probably not.
Q2. No, it should not affect anything unless you are distribution preview links which use the draft. In my case that doesn't matter either as I don't ever see any changes from the draft.
Q3. I am not sure. On my end, I feel it's a bug as I can't figure out why it is doing so. You can always remove the unpublished versions for piece of mind if you want.
