Using Folders to Organize Surveys

Folders help you organize and filter surveys on the My Surveys page. You can create your own folders, or use the folders automatically created when someone shares surveys with you.

The All surveys folder is your default folder. To view surveys in other folders, click the folder dropdown to switch.

Managing Folders

Create a New Folder

Go to the My Surveys page.
At the top of the survey list, click the All Surveys dropdown.

Click Save.

Rename a Folder

To edit the name of a folder:

Go to the My Surveys page.

BETA FEATURE: Moving surveys from the menu at the bottom of the page is only available to some customers at this time.

Shared Surveys

When you have shared surveys in your account, folders are automatically created to help you organize your survey list.

Folder name	Description
All surveys	Every survey in your account (includes surveys shared with you)
Surveys not filed	The surveys in your account that haven't been added to a folder (excludes surveys shared with you)
Your surveys	Surveys owned by you
Surveys shared with others	Surveys you own and have shared with others in your team
Surveys shared with you	Surveys owned by someone else and shared with you

You can’t add surveys shared with you to your folders—you can only move surveys you own.

Common Questions

Can I change the default folder view?

There's no way to change the default view on the My Surveys page to show a custom folder instead of All surveys. Click the arrow on the All surveys dropdown to view your other folders.

Can I password-protect a folder to restrict access?

No, you can't password-protect a folder. Each SurveyMonkey account is meant for one person. Everyone you're working with should have their own account with their own username and password.

We have some great ways you can work with other people on surveys, no matter what kind of account you have.
