👁️ Preview of study links, screeners, and those asterisks, and arrows ⬇️ ✳️

The fastest way to preview a study or screener is to use the quick preview button from the top of the Ethnio when logged in to Ethnio and after selecting a study or screener. That opens up preview where you see how participants might view your study, screener, or intercept.


Logic: the arrows or asterisks only show in preview

This is the number one question we receive about preview – the arrows and asterisks are only visible to customers and Ethnio users.

👉 Participants will never see asterisks or arrows in their actual study or screener

It's only shown in preview to help you see how logic is setup for certain answers

You might want to know the correct answers to yield more questions, so preview helps you see those. This is helpful if you use qualifying questions, filters for 3rd Party URL, or drill down questions. This is designed to show you which responses will yield another drill down question or even the "congrats" page for a 3rd party URL.

⚙️ Options in preview


Localization language 🗣️

If you're using localization to support multiple simultaneous languages in your study, you can select the language under options. Please note you might also see the same language dropdown selection that your participants will see.


Web intercepts or app intercepts 📲

If you're publishing your study or screener as a web intercept or app intercept, then the following options will apply.


  • Screenshots for intercepts – upload an example of your web or app in either desktop or mobile to see what an Ethnio intercept might look like, and you can share the preview link with your team.
  • Delay for intercepts – if you've set a delay you can choose to preview that delay or not.

⏱️ Setup a delay under Publish if you've selected Web Intercept as the publishing method

  • Targeting – applies only if you're publishing to a web intercept or app intercept, and have turned on targeting. In preview, we'll notify you that targeting is on as a reminder that your intercept might only show for a small subset of your web or app visitors.
