Edit a live pulse

Owners with edit access can change a pulse after launch. Most changes apply to the next run. Runs that were already sent keep their questions.

​

Edit questions

Question changes apply to the next run. Each run keeps a copy of the questions it was sent with, so earlier responses and results do not change.

​

Legacy pulses

Older pulses can show Legacy pulse on the Questions tab. These pulses were created before structured questions. Select Edit, then save, to create an editable question set from the pulse’s topics.

​

Edit participants

Open the Participants tab and select Edit Participants. Change the participant selection, then select Confirm. See Choose participants. Participant changes apply to the next run. To send the pulse to new people now, use Send again. For a one-time pulse, you cannot remove people who already received the pulse.

​

Settings you can change

Open the Settings tab and select edit on a section. You can change these settings after launch:

• Name
• Schedule — see Send again, pause, and resume
• Expiration — see Change expiration
• Prompt
• Requester — see Owners and requester
• Owners
• Response sharing — see Response sharing
• Completion location
• Notifications — see Notifications
• Live response streaming, for named pulses — see Live response streaming

​

What you cannot change

• Response anonymity: You set this when you create the pulse. It never changes. See Named and anonymous pulses.
• Completed pulses: You cannot edit questions, participants, or most settings. You can still change owners and the expiration.
• Archived pulses: A deleted pulse cannot be edited.
• Sent one-time pulses: After a one-time pulse is sent, you cannot edit its questions or most settings. The pulse shows This pulse has already been sent and cannot be edited. You can still edit participants, owners, and the expiration.

To run a pulse again with a different setup, duplicate it.
