End your survey with a celebration

Fireworks, confetti or a sparkler thank-you when someone finishes your survey. Plus a Save and resume button you can place anywhere, and optional headers and footers.

Finishing a survey used to end with a line of thank-you text. Surveys 1.17.0 lets you end it with a celebration. This release also lets you put the Save and resume button anywhere on the screen, and take a survey's header or footer off.

Celebrate when they finish

Open Surveys, edit a survey and open Look & feel. Under Celebration when they finish, pick what plays over the page once someone presses Finish:

  • Fireworks and confetti
  • Sparkler message, which writes your own words across the page in sparks (up to 30 characters, such as "Thank you!")
  • Confetti and mortarboards
  • Balloons and cake
  • Falling hearts
  • Money rain, a nice touch for a survey with a reward
  • Summer flowers, Autumn leaves or Snow
  • What's in season, which plays your site's seasonal celebration (Christmas, Halloween, Bonfire Night...) and nothing when there isn't one

Choose How much (a little, some or lots) and How long: 5, 10 or 20 seconds, or until they leave the page. A timed one fades away on its own. Press Play it to see it in the editor before you save.

It plays on the survey's own page and wherever the survey is embedded with [survey]. Anyone whose device asks for reduced motion just sees the thank-you message.

Put Save and resume anywhere

If you show Save and resume as a launcher disc, you can now put it in any of six places: the four corners, or the middle of the left or right side. Pick the spot on the small grid, the same one launchers use. Then set how far it sits from the side and from the top or bottom, from 0 to 300 pixels.

The preview beside the settings shows where the disc will go. When someone opens it, its card opens towards the middle of the page, so it never runs off the screen. On a phone the disc stays close to the edge whatever you set. Surveys that already used the disc keep their corner.

A survey's header and footer are optional. Choose No header (or No footer) in the list, or press Remove header, and the survey goes without one.

Removing a shared header only takes it off this survey. The shared header stays for your other surveys and campaigns. To write one just for this survey again, choose This survey only.

Where to find it

Open Surveys, edit a survey, and look under Look & feel for the celebration and the disc, and under Header & footer for the rest. The user manual has the full guide.
