Let voters add their own answer

Sometimes the best answer isn’t on your list. An Other option lets voters type their own.

Turn it on

1. Select the question in the editor.
2. In its settings, under Options, turn on Allow “Other” answer.
3. Publish your changes.

Voters now see an extra field where they can type their answer.

See what people wrote

Answers typed into the Other field show up with the results and in the responses table on the Results tab, so you can spot good ideas and add them as real options next time.

Good to know

• Other answers are counted separately from your options. If several people write the same thing, it doesn’t automatically become an option.
• For open brainstorming, a word cloud often works better: matching answers grow bigger automatically.
