  4. You'll be prompted to a window with two tabs - Participants and Collaborators. 
    1. Participants:
      • From here, you have the option to:

        1. Create a public/protected web voting link for this polly. (More on this here) 

        2. Share results in Slack to your selected audience and add optional comments.      To do this simply type in your colleague's name in the audience field, include an      optional message for context and click Share Results.
            They will see the results under the messages tab of their Polly app in Slack.

    2. Collaborators:
      • You can add collaborators to your published Pollys by sharing dashboard access with authorized users in your workspace. To do this:

        1. Click on the Collaborators tab 

        2. Enter your colleague's Slack username in the Choose User field. (You will only see those colleague's in this list who are also on a paid plan)

        3. Choose the permission level. (See more details here

        4. Click Share Access and thats it! This polly will now appear in their dashboard too.

        5. You can always come back to this menu to change permission levels or remove access. You can add multiple collaborators like this. Dashboard Access can only be given to licenses users within the workspace the Polly was created in.

✏️ Note: When you Share Dashboard Access to other paid users in your workspace, the polly continues to go out with your name. Even if the new user makes edits to the polly, the sender name will continue to appear as the original sender


Read-only (can view) access

This gives your teammates the ability to view all parts of the results in their own dashboard, but they are unable to modify it. This is a step up from viewing results in Slack, since it lives in their own dashboard.

Read/write (can manage) access

By granting read/write access to a user, this gives your teammate(s) the ability to not only view the results in their own dashboard, but as well as make any changes to it. This effectively makes them “co-sender” of the polly. For a recurring polly, they are able to make changes to the configuration and questions. For one-off pollys, they can delete the results.

💡 While creating the polly if you selected the setting "Hide name of participants", if you share the polly results, the results will appear anonymous. When this setting is selected, only the polly author can see the names. As a workaround, the author can download the results CSV & then that CSV can be circulated among the audience.
