If so, we are happy to introduce you to our advanced branching logic.\u003c/i\u003e\r\n\r\nThe PollUnit branching logic allows you to create engaging surveys, customized to each respondent. Each questionnaire changes according to the answers to your questions. You can skip unnecessary questions, show special questions to a specific target audience or forward participants who do not fulfill the requirements to the thank you page. This way you create a unique experience, rather than a one-size-fits-all survey. Furthermore this help you to collect more accurate and relevant data.\r\n\r\nHow it works in a nutshell: PollUnit allows to create filters. You can apply multiple criteria to these filters. For example »Participants with the age of at least 21«. Each filter or participant group can be assigned to a logic. For example a skipping logic. You can simply reuse your filter in follow up steps of your questionnaire.\r\n\r\nIf you want to learn more about the benefits of survey branching and how to create the necessary conditions visit our \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en/tutorials/advanced_survey_logic\"\u003esurvey branching logic tutorial\u003c/a\u003e.

Therefore we want to share them with you:\r\n\r\n\u003cb\u003e»In many cases, comments are a useful means of interaction and exchange of ideas. However, in any poll or survey where you are trying to rate an image or an idea, it is counterproductive to let your audience see the comments from others before they make their choice. [...] \r\n\r\nAny one who expresses an opinion or gives information (that may be false, intentionally or not) will affect the outcome of the poll. In judging images, if a previous comment states »This is the best image by far«, that will result in other members rating it higher. Most people want to be agreeable. More so if the person who made the first comment is identified and is considered skilled or popular.«\u003c/b\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ci\u003eMichael O'Byrne\u003c/i\u003e\r\n\r\nThis is why we integrated the »Private comment« feature. Once private comments are activated only the content owner, the comment creator and the admin can see comments. If a content owner answers a comment, it will also be visible to the creator of the answered comment.\r\n\r\nIn the advanced step when using the \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en\"\u003epoll maker\u003c/a\u003e you can check »Private comments« in the »Allow comments« section.
