Overview
A poll in Content Designer is an interactive element where learners can answer a question or give feedback by selecting one or more options. It helps you engage learners, collect insights, and make your course feel more participatory.
To add or edit a poll, open the content editor inside a Content Designer activity.

Displayed always – Results are visible before and after submission.
Displayed after their own rating – Results become visible only after the student submits a response.
The results are shown in a pie chart, with each option represented by a different colour. When you hover over an option, additional information is displayed.

Disabled – Students cannot change their selection after submitting.

Decide if completing the poll is required to unlock the next content:
Yes – Learners must answer the poll to proceed.
No – Learners can skip the poll and still access the next content.
Responses
When you open the content editor and click the calendar icon of a poll, you’ll see an overview of all submitted responses.
The table shows all poll options, the number of responses for each option, and which users voted for which options.
You can select responses in three ways:
A poll option – selects all responses in that column.
A single response – selects only that specific response.
Select all – selects all responses.
Once at least one response is selected, you can choose one of the following actions:
Delete the selected responses.
Choose another option for all users with a selected response.
Manually changing poll responses can result in more selections than the configured limit.
General element settings
Polls share additional settings with other Content Designer elements:
General settings – adjust padding, spacing, and other layout details.
Background – choose background color or image.
Entrance animation – animate the element as it appears on screen.
Scrolling effects – apply effects on scroll.
Responsive settings – control visibility and layout on different screen sizes.
