# Publish a survey in the Survey Designer

You must save changes to a survey before you can publish it to the specified recipients or groups.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or survey\_admin

## Procedure

1.  In the Survey Designer, point to the menu and select **Load Survey**.

2.  Select a survey to publish.

3.  To preview the survey as a user, point to the menu icon and click **Preview**.

4.  When you are satisfied with the survey, click either **Save and Publish** or **Publish** to distribute it.

    When you publish a survey, the system sends email notifications to the recipients and to their managers. The system displays a link to the survey on a card in each recipient's My Assessments & Surveys portal.
