Switching question type in Multiple Choice Polls
When using Multiple Choice Polls, we recommend not changing from one question type to another once you have collected responses. This will result in the loss of response data.
If you want to switch question types, we recommend deleting the poll responses collected and asking your audience to submit their votes again. Learn how to delete responses here.
Adjusting scale size
You can amend the poll scale size once you have started collecting responses.
For instance, you can change the initial scale size from 1-5 to 1-10 once you have started collecting responses. As a result, responses registered on the scale from 1 through 5 will be retained and you can continue collecting more response data with the now expanded scale.
