    PLEASE NOTE:  Hide from Users will be checked by default.  This must be unchecked when you are ready to make the survey visible to users.  A survey must be visible for the availability dates to take effect.  When the survey is visible but it is outside of the timeframe established by the start and end dates, students will see the survey exists, but will not be able to engage with it.

  8. When finished, click Save and Close.

  9. To preview the survey, click the drop-down icon to the right of the survey name and select Preview from the drop-down.
