In this article we cover:
- Delete the responses of a single poll
- Delete the responses of more than one poll
- Delete 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.
The same instructions below must be followed to reset or clear a leaderboard. But remember to download the data report if you want to save previous results.
1. Reset the responses of a single poll
Poll responses can be cleared while the poll is still open or after it has closed. Once your poll is live, results will appear in real time in your dashboard preview window. You'll also see a response count displayed beneath the poll question in your presentation list.
Delete the responses to a specific poll by selecting the 'More Options' icon (three dots at right bottom of the question) and then select the 'Reset Responses'.
Clearing the results of a poll is an irreversible action so you will be prompted to confirm the action. To continue press 'Reset Responses' 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.
2. Clearing the results of more than one poll
Select the polls you want to clear in one of two ways:
- Individually — hover over each poll's type icon until it becomes a checkbox, then tick each poll you want to clear.
- All at once — use the Select all checkbox, then uncheck any polls you want to keep.
Double-check that only the correct polls are selected, then click the Reset responses icon in the top right of the presentation list.
Clearing the results of a poll is an irreversible action so you will be prompted to confirm the action. To continue press 'Reset Responses' when asked to confirm the deletion.
The polls 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'.
A graph icon will appear when you hover over a poll in the presentation list — This means that the poll has results saved to it.
If your results do not want to clear, refresh your browser.
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 'Reset Session' 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. Read more about it here.
