To respond to a survey, you must have permission to contribute to the survey. Depending on how a survey is set up, you may be able to respond to a survey only once.

If you cannot finish answering every question in a survey during one session — for example, if you are interrupted while answering the questions — you can save a partial response and then finish it later. This saves your answers and closes the survey.

Responses that are partially completed do not appear in the survey results. A survey response is considered complete after the respondent views every page and then clicks Finish.
