You want to know how your team feels about a new way of working. On Create Survey you choose From Template, pick Employee Engagement on the left, and click Preview on a few. You click Use Template on the closest one, delete the questions you don’t need, and add one of your own from Elements.

Troubleshooting

Section titled “Troubleshooting”

Clicking Create does nothing. The survey needs a Name.

I can’t see Create Survey. Your role in this workspace doesn’t allow it. Ask a workspace admin to change your role.

I can’t add another question. The Free plan stops at 10 questions in a survey.
