After some internal testing, we've discovered that a partial respondent does NOT see any survey edits made after they've begun their survey. It seems that a partial respondent is stuck within whatever version of the survey they were when starting the survey.It makes sense to me that this would be the case for any questions they've already completed, but I was hopeful that questions not yet seen would be updated.One case of this is when we incentivize our respondents. Let's say we're incentivizing completes at $20. The last page of our survey typically says something like "We'll be sending your $20 in a couple days". To encourage more completes in the middle of fielding, we might decide to increase our incentive to $40. So we would update the last page to reflect $40. The reminder message goes out to all partial and non-responsive contacts indicating that we have increased incentives. New respondents will see the $40 on the last page but partial respondents will still see $20.What is the best practice for dealing with survey changes for partial respondents? Is there an option to move or convert partial respondents to the newest published version of the survey?Would a "Re-take" response push them through the new version of the survey saving their old responses for questions already seen?Appreciate any feedback.

You could delete the partials then if people use their existing link they will start over using the new version of the survey.I think re-takes get the new version of the survey as well, but I'm not 100% sure, so you should test. You would have to close the partials, then get individual retake links for those partial responses and somehow distribute them to each respondent.
