How to Send a Preview Link in SurveyMonkey

Use this interactive demo to learn how to share a survey preview link with anyone in SurveyMonkey.

Quick summary

SurveyMonkey lets you generate a preview link that allows recipients to view and test your survey without their responses being recorded. This is useful for collecting feedback on survey design before it goes live.


Steps

  1. On your dashboard, find and click on the survey you want to share a preview of.
  2. In the survey editor, click the 'Preview survey' button in the upper right-hand corner to see the survey as respondents would.
  3. Once the preview loads, go to the browser's address bar and copy the URL.
  4. Send the copied link to anyone you want to give a preview to — recipients can view and test the survey, but their responses won't be recorded.

📌 Why this matters

Sending a preview link in SurveyMonkey lets teams review and test a survey's design and flow before it goes live, without capturing any real responses. This feature is essential for quality assurance, stakeholder sign-off, and ensuring a smooth respondent experience. It eliminates the risk of collecting accidental or test data in your live results, keeping your survey analytics clean and reliable. For anyone building professional surveys, the preview link is a critical step in the review and approval process.
