Activities are what participants do in a journey. You create them ahead of time, then publish them when you're ready for readers to see them.
Adding an activity
Choose Add Activity on the journey's page, pick an Activity Type, and give it an Activity Title.
Reading
Choose Add Content Block to add blocks from your project, in the order readers should read them. Each one shows its title and word count. Participants can highlight and comment as they read, and mark the reading complete.
Survey
Add questions with + Add Question. Each one can be:
- True/False;
- Multiple Choice: participants pick one option;
- Multiple Response: participants pick all that apply;
- Rating: 1 to 5 stars;
- Short Answer: a written reply.
The optional Introduction appears on its own page before the first question. Use it to explain what you're asking and why.
Discussion
Write a Discussion Prompt: the question or topic for the group. The optional Instructions appear below it, to explain how to respond. Participants see each other's responses and can reply.
Instructions
A note for participants, such as how the journey will run or what to look out for next. Formatting is limited to bold, italics, headings and lists. Links and images aren't supported. Participants mark it done when they've read it.
Pending and published
A new activity is pending: only you can see it, and you can edit it, delete it, or drag it into a different order. Pending Activities lists them.
When you're ready, choose Publish Activities. Every pending activity is published at once, and participants get a notification. You can publish while the journey is Open or Active.
Published activities are listed under Active Activities. They can't be edited, deleted or reordered, because participants may already have responded. To change something, add a new activity.
To share a few activities at a time, add the next ones after you publish the last batch. Everything pending is published together.
Seeing responses
Choose View Responses on a published activity to see who has completed it and what they shared:
- Readings: each reader's progress, and their highlights and comments in the text.
- Surveys: the answers, as an aggregate per question or one respondent at a time.
- Discussions: every response and reply.
Writing good prompts
- Ask about the reader's experience. "Which moment surprised you?" gets better answers than "Did you like it?"
- Keep surveys short. A few questions get more answers than many.
- Ask what you'll use. If a choice in the story is open, ask readers about it, and let them see their answers shape what comes next.
