AhaSlides Surveys let you collect structured, multi-question feedback. Build the Survey once, then either share a standalone link for people to complete at their own pace, or drop it live into a presentation for your audience to fill in on the spot.

​
Creating a Survey

1

Open Surveys

Log in to AhaSlides and click Surveys in the left-hand menu. Surveys live in their own dashboard section, separate from your presentations.
2

Choose how to start

Pick Generate with AI to describe your Survey goal and let AhaSlides generate the questions, Use a template to pick a pre-built template and customise it, or Start from scratch to open a blank editor.

​
Question Types

Multiple Choice

Participants pick from answer options you define.

Rating Scale

A slider between two labels you set — for example, Not useful to Extremely useful.

Open-ended

A free-text box for written answers.

Matrix

Multiple sub-questions sharing the same answer choices — great for Likert tables.
Use the AI assistant to generate a full questionnaire from a prompt, attach an image to any question for extra context, and mark a question Required so respondents can’t submit without answering it. Changes auto-save as a Draft until you publish.

​
Publishing and Sharing

While a Survey is a Draft it isn’t collecting responses. When you’re happy with your questions, publish it — the status changes to Published and it’s ready for respondents.
  1. Open the Survey’s sharing options and copy the link, or use the QR code.
  2. Send the link to your respondents — email, Slack, LMS, poster, anywhere.
  3. Participants open it on any device (phone, tablet, or computer) with no download or account needed.
Responses collect for as long as the Survey stays open. To stop accepting new responses, close the Survey (its status returns to Draft).
Use this when you want structured feedback from your audience while they’re still in the room — end-of-session forms, mid-workshop check-ins, event feedback.
  1. Open your presentation in the editor and add a new slide.
  2. Select the Survey slide type.
  3. On the slide, click Link survey and choose the published Survey you want to show.
  4. Present your deck as usual — participants join with the normal join code or QR code.
  5. When you reach the Survey slide, the Survey is revealed on every participant’s device.
  6. Each participant scrolls through the questions, answers them, and presses Submit.
Because the Survey appears at the exact moment you present the slide, response rates are much higher than emailing a Survey afterwards — your audience answers while the session is still fresh.

​
Checking Your Responses

You can check results at any time:
  • The Responses column in your Surveys list shows how many submissions each Survey has received.
  • Click View results to see responses in detail, question by question.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Poll slide asks one question at a time, results show live on the big screen, and everyone answers together while you present. A Survey is a multi-question form on one page — participants scroll through all the questions and submit once. Use polls for in-the-moment reactions; use a Survey when you want structured feedback across several questions.
No. Participants just open the link or scan the QR code and answer in any browser — nothing to install.
Yes. You can keep responses anonymous for more honest feedback, or collect respondent details (such as an email address question) when you need to follow up.
Check the Survey’s status in your Surveys list. If it’s still Draft, it hasn’t been published yet — participants can’t see it until you publish.
Yes. Click Preview to see how it looks on respondent devices and submit a test response. Remember to remove your test submission from the results before sharing the Survey for real.
