Posted: 2024-11-20 08:00:48   Expiration: 2025-05-31 15:16:48

The Qualtrics default survey layout will become the Simple Layout in early January. The Simple Layout is easier to use on mobile devices and offers an improved accessibility experience when using assistive technologies.

Change Impact

This change will only impact new surveys and will not change the layout of any existing surveys.

Action steps

We encourage you to use the Simple Layout for all of your surveys. However, there are some survey options and question types that are not available in the Simple Layout. For a complete list, see Currently Unsupported Survey Features.

If you need to switch to a different layout, you can make that change in the Look & Feel menu on the Survey tab of your project. See Look & Feel Basic Overview for more information.

Have questions or concerns?

You can learn more about the Simple Layout in this Qualtrics Support Article.
