Thank you for your feedback
The code view gives access to the Survey template’s CSS code. Use the code view to make detailed visual tweaks that aren't possible using the UI options. The code view is available for any Survey template that you select.

The CSS code for Surveys cannot be deleted; it can only be modified or added to with a new code. If the current CSS is deleted, it will be overridden by the default CSS settings.
Before you customize your template, as a best practice, create a backup copy of the code. This prevents any unexpected content loss.

To change the size of the survey, go to the code view, find the CSS class .survey-iframe-Container , and adjust the width and height.
.png?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-11-22T23%3A01%3A28Z&se=2024-11-22T23%3A11%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=cORHlAZz9EtF%2ByTVaenZEa0%2BeZK%2B2zvs2TVZYjTL6GI%3D "ChangeSurveysize(2).png")
For example, the following CSS code sets the height and width of the Survey to 500px:
.survey-iframe-container {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}Change the font style
To change the font style for all the text elements in the Survey, go to the code view, and find the * selector.
Your title goes here
The styles applied using the Universal Selector (
*) will affect all text elements throughout the Survey. This means that all headings, paragraphs, buttons, and other text display in the specified font. If you wish to customize the font for specific elements, do so by targeting those particular elements (for example,h1,p,button) in the CSS code.
For example, the following CSS code changes the font style of all the text elements from ‘Inter, sans-serif’ to ‘Georgia, serif’:
* {
font-family: 'Georgia', serif; /* Changed from 'Inter' to 'Arial' */
}Customize the Submit button
To customize the Submit button, go to the code view, find the CSS class .button-root , and change the height, width, and border-radius.
For example, the following CSS code sets the height to 50px, width to 120px, and border-radius to 10px:
.button-root {
width: 120px;
height: 50px;
border-radius: 10px;
}Customize the Survey background color
To customize the background color of the Survey, go to the code view, find the CSS selector .survey-container .content-container , and change the background.
.png?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-11-22T23%3A01%3A28Z&se=2024-11-22T23%3A11%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=cORHlAZz9EtF%2ByTVaenZEa0%2BeZK%2B2zvs2TVZYjTL6GI%3D "Surveybackground (1).png")
For example, the following CSS code changes the background color from grey (#f6f6f9) to white (#ffffff):
.survey-container .content-container {
overscroll-behavior: contain;
overflow-y: auto;
padding: 16px 24px;
background: #ffffff;
flex-basis: 70%;
flex-grow: 1;
height: 100%;
}Resize the Survey Header
To resize the Survey header, go to the code view, find the CSS class .header , and adjust the min-height.
.png?sv=2022-11-02&spr=https&st=2024-11-22T23%3A01%3A28Z&se=2024-11-22T23%3A11%3A28Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=cORHlAZz9EtF%2ByTVaenZEa0%2BeZK%2B2zvs2TVZYjTL6GI%3D "Survey_header(1).png")
For example, the following CSS code reduces the min-height of the Survey header from 92px to 75px:
.header {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
display: flex;
align-items: flex-start;
justify-content: space-between;
gap: 12px;
background: #ffffff;
padding: 12px 24px;

color: #ffffff;
