Polls - FAQ

Can I edit a poll after publishing?
Once votes are cast, options cannot be changed. Close the poll early and create a new one.

What happens when a poll closes?
Voting stops and a notification is sent. The original results visibility is still enforced - “Creator only” stays creator only. Only “Everyone” shows results to all members.

Can I create a poll in a blog or group?
Yes, on Forum, Blog, and Group boards with polls enabled. Polls are not available on Ideas boards.

How does moderation affect my poll?
Your community’s moderation rules apply (including AI moderation and spam filtering). The poll duration timer starts at creation time, not approval time - plan duration accordingly.

How do I export poll data?
Per-poll CSVs from the results view (creators and admins). Community-wide CSV via “Export Poll Statistics” on the Poll Settings admin page.

Image formats and sizes?
JPG and PNG, ≤5 MB each, up to 8 images per poll. Alt-text required. 2-column grid for 2–4 options, 3-column for 5–8.

Can I run a poll longer than 30 days?
Yes - the admin can set max duration up to 365 days at the board level.

Can I delete a poll after publishing?
Yes. Delete the post containing the poll at any time, regardless of whether voting has started.
