Edit, deactivate, and delete questions

How do you manage questions that are already created, or delete questions that are no longer relevant?

1. Go to the 'Manage questions' section of your 15Five account.
2. You will see a list of your questions and can use the pencil icon to edit, deactivate, or delete.

Editing

Edits made to questions are pushed to the current report in real time. If you edit the wording of a question, update the answer type, add a new question to an existing report, etc- the report will update immediately. 

You can edit the Question type, Question itself, change the frequency, and update the settings by clicking on edit. If you do update the actual question, all data on the previous question will be overridden by the new data. We suggest deactivating the question and creating an entirely new question instead. Custom reports can still be run on inactive questions, but not on questions that have been overwritten. 

Deactivating/Reactivating

Deactivated questions are greyed out and appear in the Inactive questions header. These questions were deactivated from “In every 15Five”. You can reactivate these questions at any time. When you are ready to reactivate, click the pencil and reactivate. Review the format, frequency, and settings before saving the changes. 

Inactive questions from your Question queue will be greyed out and still appear in the Question queue header. You can reactive these questions the same way. 

TIP: For questions that are not going to be asked again, 15Five recommends the delete option. To delete a question, simply click the pencil and delete. Deleted questions will no longer appear in your account. However, you can still run reports and gather data on deleted questions.
