How do I run a poll or a survey?

In this story

Where: Growth → Reach readers → Polls & forms

Open this page: admin.<your-site>/growth/forms (replace <your-site> with your site address)

Steps

  1. Open Settings → Site & brand → Add features. The page is called Features.
  2. Find Polls under For your site. If it is not there, open Other niches. Tap Switch on (or Show in my admin). When it shows On, it is ready.
  3. If it shows Needs and a plan name, your plan does not include it yet. See Choose a plan.
  4. Open Growth → Reach readers → Polls & forms.
  5. Choose New poll or form. Add the question, who may answer and when.
  6. Open it. Then put it in a story or on a landing page.

Good to know

  • Only the site owner can switch features on. Others see: "Only the owner can add features. Ask the owner to switch one on."

Common problems

I cannot find Polls in my admin. Why: The feature is off or not yet installed. Fix: Open Settings → Site & brand → Add features and tap Switch on or Show in my admin. If a screen says "This feature is switched off. The owner can switch it on in Features.", ask the owner.
