# Create an engagement survey

> Use the five-step builder to create a broad employee engagement diagnostic.

An engagement survey is designed for breadth. Use it to understand the employee experience across several topics and identify priorities for action.

## Open the builder

From the dashboard, choose **Create survey**. The builder guides you through five areas:

1. **Start** — name the survey and choose how to begin.
2. **Questions** — add, remove, and order questions.
3. **Audience** — choose who can respond.
4. **Settings** — configure demographics, language, dates, and privacy.
5. **Review** — preview the survey before publishing.

## Choose a starting point

Use a template when you want a proven structure. Use the question bank when you want to assemble your own survey. Add custom questions when the wording must be specific to your organization.

## Keep the purpose visible

Write down the decision the survey should support. Every question should help explain that decision, measure a priority, or invite useful feedback.

<Tip>
  For a first survey, prefer a clear diagnostic over a long inventory of every possible topic.

## Save and return

Drafts can be revisited before publishing. Use the builder’s preview modes to check the respondent experience without making the survey live.
