When you edit a survey that has already begun to collect responses, you have the potential to introduce a change in bias, or alter the validity of reporting that has taken place to date for this survey. For each edit, please clarify your intentions.

In question 3, you made some wording changes. Please describe the reason for the change: None of the choices on this page will delete any responses or reporting to date. Your responses on this page mostly determine how future reporting should account for your edits.

Previous wording:

...Who are you planning to vote for?...

Keep this wording
(make no changes)

Proposed wording:

...Who will you vote for?...

If you want this wording, select an option below:

• Edit was a typo/minor copy correction. LimeSurvey will not save the previous state of the question's wording and all reports in the past will reflect the new wording.
• Edit introduces a minor, but semantic difference that could alter bias and affect future responses. LimeSurvey will mark the date/time of this change and remember the previous text edit(s). Reporting will reflect that this question has undergone semantic edits.
• The question should be made into an entirely new question (edits were semantically significant). The previous version of the question will be removed from survey and previous responses/reporting will not be linked to the new question.
• Create a new question and a new survey since the impact of this change has altered the overall survey substantially.

The boss told us to change it. Reason for change

You added a 40th question to the survey, which now appears as question 7.
What impact will this have on the overall survey and other questions? Context is important; adding another question can sometimes alter how other questions are responded to. Because of this, you should determine whether a new survey instance should be started or not.

• Do not make a new survey. The impact of adding this question will not affect the other questions responses significantally.
• Start a new survey with this addition of this question.
