How to Close a Survey on SurveyMonkey

Updated on:
May 12, 2026
By:
Madhav Bhandari
Use this interactive demo to learn how to stop accepting responses by closing a survey collector.

Quick summary

Closing a survey on SurveyMonkey stops new responses from being submitted by deactivating the active collector. This is done through the Collect Responses tab using the ellipsis menu on the collector you want to close.


Steps

  1. In your dashboard, find the survey you wish to close and click on it.
  2. Click the 'Collect Responses' tab at the top of the survey editor.
  3. Find the active collector and click on the ellipsis icon next to it.
  4. Select 'Close collector' to stop accepting new responses for that particular link or method.
  5. Confirm the action by clicking the 'Close collector' option when SurveyMonkey prompts for confirmation.
  6. Once the collector is closed, participants will no longer be able to submit responses.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to close a survey on SurveyMonkey gives teams precise control over their data collection windows, preventing late or unwanted responses from skewing results. The collector-level close feature lets users deactivate a specific distribution link — such as email, web, or social — without deleting the survey or losing existing response data. This is essential for researchers, HR teams, and marketers who need to enforce deadlines and maintain data integrity. SurveyMonkey's straightforward collector management makes it easy to pause or permanently close response collection in just a few clicks.
