1. Navigate to Connections and select Surveys.

   • For surveys such as brag sheets, choose Survey will be a permanent data input form that should remain editable after completion. Students can revise their answers as needed. You cannot, however, generate a list of students who have completed the survey because the survey status is never displayed as complete.
