Reorder Polls

[DBCA]

I have a meeting and am creating 15 different polls. I have started to create these polls and now realize they are not in the correct order needed for the actual meeting. You used to be able to reorder/move the polls prior to the meeting. This functionality seems to have disappeared. Does anyone know if polls can still be reordered? Thanks

Hi DBCA,

You cannot reorder the polls themselves; however, when you launch the polls, you can choose which one to launch from the dropdown of poll titles.

If you have a poll with multiple questions, you can re-order the questions by hovering over the question, clicking on ... at the top of the question then drag it to the correct order.

Hope this helps!

If this answers your question, please click "Accept solution". Thank you!

I have tried dragging to the correct order without success.  Zoom will automatically reorder my polls. 

I have also tried to delete and re-enter the items without success.

It does this in three of my polls, and no one seems to know why.

BTW, Polling is enabled.

Hi @DBCA ,

Thanks for posting on our Zoom Community Forum! We sincerely appreciate your post. Can you please try un-enabling your polling and then re-enabling it within your account settings from our article here? I recommend saving your work in a separate Word document and then re-testing after to see if this issue occurs.

Hopefully, there is a positive impact after.

Thanks,

Stephanie

Can you be more specific about "hovering over the Question, clicking on ... at the top of the question"?  My poll questions are numbered correctly....but the second class has two polls and thus there is a 2A and 2B question...2A is at the bottom of the list after 6.  I'd like not to have to worry about scrolling thru the numbers...Just want to launch the next one on the list.

Hi DBCA, here's what I did because I didn't want to take the risk of un-enabling then re-enabling polling. Once I finished making all of my polls, I made sure I named all of them (so I knew which order I wanted them in this time around), then I started my order all over again by clicking "Duplicate Poll" on the poll I wanted first, then second, then third, etc.

When you click "Duplicate Poll", that poll automatically falls to the bottom of the list.

Once I had duplicated all my polls - this time in the order I wanted - I deleted all of my original polls.

That is smarter than anything I came up with. You just saved me plenty of time. Thanks!

I click edit on each one and then save.  It puts them in order by time it was saved with the first poll becoming the last one saved.

Hi I am afraid this did not work

Are there any plans to allow re-ordering of polls in the future? This is a large dissatisfier, along with automatically combining polls across meetings, rather than automatically keeping them separate.

One of our presenters is using Zoom version 6.1.0 (41135) and can reorder their polls (newest to oldest or alphabetically). They have auto-update enabled, so they assumed they were on the latest version. However, I am running the most recent version, 6.2.3 (47507), but I don't have the option to reorder polls. This discrepancy doesn't seem logical. Do you know if this functionality is planned to be re-enabled? I can't see why such a feature would be removed.
