Hello all, Is there a way that I can send the survey to a few people to make sure it is working as it is supposed to and that I can collect data, before I go ahead a publish it?

You can copy and paste the preview survey link and email it to testers. If you want to just do a soft launch (send it out to a small sample of your real contact list and keep their data) then you can make a Sample inside of your Contact List. Soft launching would mean publishing it.

Thank you @bstrahin. One quick question, if I send the preview, would I be able to collect the data to make sure the data collection part works well?

Yes, preview links write the data into the Data & Analysis tab. It is saved there until you delete. There's also a tag that will mark them as preview link completes so you can batch delete them if it's fake data that you don't want to include in the analysis. I suggest deleting so you don't forget to filter them out when you go to run your reports.
