For my dissertation, i need to randomize participants to one of three conditions. However, when i sent out this survey, all participants were given the first condition. What do i need to change in my survey so that it'll be randomized.

You can uncheck evenly present elements and then try out the randomizer.

I would guess that you practiced your survey a bunch before launching, using the survey preview option. The randomizer logs each of these as a case, and therefore keeps track of which condition your test was sent through. If, for some reason, you tested one condition less/more than the others, the randomizer will work to balance them out again and therefore send all participants to the ones that have the least. You should click 'edit count' on the randomizer and make sure all conditions have a count of 0 before launching your study.
