# How do I extend the duration of an existing Survey?

You may need to extend the duration of a Survey to collect more responses or reopen it for users who may have missed it.

To extend the duration of a Survey, unpublish the Survey, change the [New Visibility Rules](/studio/docs/advanced-visibility-rules-for-widgets), and then republish it to production.

Use the following steps to extend the duration of a Survey:

1. On the Whatfix Guidance Dashboard, go to the **Production** stage. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/CLM_DB_Production_Stage(2).png)

1. Select the Survey. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-3BGXV4UO.png)

1. Click **Unpublish**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/click_unpublish_on_dashboard.png)

1. Go to the **Draft** stage and **Edit** the Survey. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-RGWCKVL7.png)

1. Modify the **Start date** and **End date** as per your requirements. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-ZSGSVW1C.png)

1. Click **Save**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/image-HN90YSXS.png)

1. [Publish the Survey](/studio/docs/pushing-whatfix-content-to-production) to Production.

> [!WARNING]
> Note:
> 
> - You cannot perform an **Edit in Draft** for a Survey.
> - Unpublishing does not delete previously submitted results.
> - After you unpublish and republish the Survey, users who have already submitted responses do not see the Survey again.

For more information, see [Create Survey](/studio/docs/survey).
