In this article we cover:
- Clearing the results of a single poll
- Clearing the results of more than one poll
- Clearing all the results from your session
We recommend testing or practicing your polls with some mobile devices before your live event, online meeting, or class. It is important to clear these test results that are now linked to your polls. Remember to do this before the actual event or meeting day. Or you can do it straight after your test run.
1. Clearing the results of a single poll
When you have asked a poll you will be able to see your question in your dashboard.
Select the poll you want to clear by selecting the checkbox. (When a poll has results it is it will have the words 'Show results' at the bottom of the question.)
Select the 'Clear Results' option in the top right corner.
Clearing the results of a poll is an irreversible action so you will be prompted to confirm the action. To continue press 'Yes' when asked to confirm the deletion.
The poll will be back in the state it was when you created it and you can now make some edits or ask the poll again.
Alternatively, you can also clear the poll by selecting the 'More Options' icon (three dots at right bottom of the question) and then select the 'Clear results' option.
2. Clearing the results of more than one poll
Select all the polls you would like clear from their results by selecting their checkboxes.
Clearing the results of a poll is an irreversible action so you will be prompted to confirm the action. To continue press 'Yes' when asked to confirm the deletion.
The poll will be back in the state it was when you created it and you can now make some edits or ask the poll again when it says 'Open poll'.
3. Clearing all the results from your session
You can also clear all the results of a session all at once.
Go to the 'Data' option in the navigation menu on the left. Select the 'Clear all data' option from the report summary. Note that this action can not be undone, and should be used with caution. When you have done a dry run or trial run and you want to delete the test responses, choose this option before you run your polls again.
