Use this interactive demo to learn how to reopen a closed survey and resume collecting responses.

Quick summary

Reopening a closed survey in SurveyMonkey takes just a few clicks by accessing the survey's collector settings and selecting Open collector to resume response collection through the original link or invitation.


Steps

  1. Log in to SurveyMonkey and navigate to the survey you want to reopen.
  2. Locate the collector marked as 'Closed' and click on it to open its settings.
  3. Inside the collector settings, find and click the 'Open collector' option to start collecting responses again.
  4. Select 'Open collector' once more to confirm the action.
  5. Your survey is now reopened and accessible to participants through the same link or invitation method.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to reopen a closed survey in SurveyMonkey is essential for teams that need to extend data collection windows, accommodate late respondents, or resume paused research without rebuilding a survey from scratch. SurveyMonkey's collector settings make it possible to reactivate any closed survey in seconds, preserving all existing responses and sharing links. This capability helps researchers, HR professionals, and marketers maintain flexibility in their feedback workflows without losing previously gathered data.
