Good Morning,
I have created the master thesis project test465133
I need to publish the survey and share it but I have some questions related to this operation.
An operator in the Messages section on m login told me that since I have the free version the survey administration time is limited to 3 months and than I can extend 1 month

So, in the " Survey administration period: from -date to - date" section, do I have to write like from today 29/04/25 to 29/07/25 right?

And in case I can extend 1 month the period

And another question... while the survey will be published and available and I share the link to people, in case I see mistakes.. can I change like questions, texts or sections of my project right?
I've read this site https://www.soscisurvey.de/help/doku.php/en:survey:hot-change

That is correct. If we did not introduce this limitation, everybody would enter 1.1.1900 to 31.12.3000 in their projects and we never knew which are actually online ;)

do I have to write like from today 29/04/25 to 29/07/25 right?

If that is a reasonable period for you to collect data, that would be possible, yes.

And in case I can extend 1 month the period

Close to the end on July, let's say 25.07.2025 (29.07. is also fine, however be sure not to forget) you can enter the then-date plus 1 month, for example 25.08.2025. You can repeat that for up to two years.

It's not a tragedy if you miss the last day of the survey administration period, however, the survey will go offline for a day or two, if you forget. If you're over multiple days, you may also have to set a new start date. This won't inflict your data, but the return graph will not display the whole period then ... easier just to extend the duration in time.

can I change like questions, texts or sections of my project right?

Sure. And as you read the manual, you already know not to delete items or questions, because you'll not be able to download the data colelcted for them earlier, then.
