Research in Ballpark has never been higher stakes. Teams are running more studies and collecting more responses than ever, whether they’re recruiting from our panel or sending studies to their own customers and users.
With an always-live link, a single unintended edit (a reworded question, a broken piece of logic) reaches participants straight away. That can affect your data, your participants’ experience, and the time and budget you’ve invested.
Publishing adds a deliberate moment before anything changes in front of participants:
Need to reword a question or add a follow-up? You can now make those edits while your study continues collecting responses on its published version.
Preview your changes, check everything reads as intended, then publish your study live when you’re ready. Your share link stays the same, so there’s nothing to resend. Participants who have already opened the study keep their original version, giving them a consistent experience from start to finish.
How to publish your study
Build your study. New studies start as Draft, so participants can’t join before you’re ready.
Select Preview to check the participant experience.
Select Publish, then Publish now to make your study live.
Open Share to copy your participant link, or head to Recruit to recruit participants.
How to update a live study
Make your edits in the builder. They stay unpublished while participants continue receiving the live version.
Select Preview changes to check your updates.
Select Publish changes, then Publish changes now. New participants will receive the updated study through the same link.
Need to stop collecting responses?
Open the publishing controls and choose Close study. Closing stops new participants from joining without deleting your collected responses. Participants already taking the study can still finish.
You can reopen it at any time. Reopening uses the last published version and won’t publish any unfinished edits.
