About Distributions and Response Collection

You can use the distributions feature in Qualtrics to activate a new survey, start collecting responses to published surveys, and monitor the response collection metrics. This page explains distribution, and outlines how to start, pause, and resume response collection for your survey (during which the status of your project will change), as well as the effects of any of those actions. Additionally, we cover the options for editing an active survey and setting a survey availability date, which are two important considerations when collecting responses.
