About theme options and presentation settings

Click Presentation in the left toolbar of the editor. The panel has two pages: Theme options decide how your survey looks, Presentation decides how participants move through it. A preview of your survey sits on the right. Every change saves by itself, and Saved at in the top bar shows the time of the last save. These settings change the look and the flow only: your questions, logic and responses stay as they are.

Change the look of your survey

1. Open your survey in the editor.
2. In the left toolbar, click Presentation.
3. Click Theme options or Presentation.
4. Change a setting. It saves by itself.

Note: Theme options come from the survey theme, so another theme can offer other options.
