Sharing your opinion in a poll is a quick and easy way to make your voice heard. Whether it's picking the next team event or contributing to an important decision, your vote helps shape the outcome and ensures everyone's input matters.
Not only can you pick your preferred options, but you can also change and retract your vote, plus if you have a question or something to say, comment and react to the post. Answering a poll is completely anonymous, and you will see the percentage for each answer right after you vote.
To open a poll on its own screen, click on the date it was posted under the author's name. Once you've opened it, it will be easier to share a direct link to the poll by copying the page's HTML code.
Voting
You can vote on one of the answers by simply clicking on it. Once you’ve voted, you will be taken to a view that shows you the current standings.

Changing your vote
Don’t worry, nothing is set in stone! If you’ve changed your mind, you can simply change your vote by clicking on the answer you would like to pick instead. Your vote will automatically be changed from your original answer to the new one.
Be mindful of the fact that it is no longer possible to change your vote on a poll that has already ended.

In some cases, you might want to completely retract your vote from a specific poll. To do so, you can select the ‘Retract vote’ option from the poll’s options.
Remember that it is no longer possible to retract your vote on a poll that has already ended.
