Usability Improvements: September 2025
We just shipped the first of three usability improvements updates that will make OpinionX a lot easier to use for researchers and survey participants! Here’s what was included in the first batch…
Design Inspiration ⚡
When you create a new block on OpinionX, you’ll now see a “Design Inspiration” section. Clicking any of the white tiles here will prefill your block with a question and ranking options, helping you to see how that ranking method should look once ready to launch.
Once activated, the template can be deleted using the “Reset” eraser icon in the bottom-right corner. If you’d rather ignore this prompt, just continue setting your question up and the Design Inspiration section will disappear automatically:
^ The new templates section knows how to take a hint when you’re not interested in it :)

Enforced Voting Rules 🗳️
OpinionX already had settings for choosing a minimum or maximum number of options someone can vote, but now we’ve given these settings a round of important improvements:
Until you reach the minimum number of votes, the “Next” button is clearly not clickable.
Prompts now clearly state how many votes someone must cast before they can proceed.
Once the limit is reached, other options are disabled to prevent over-voting unintentionally.
Below you can see an example on an Order Rank survey, and this same approach has been added to Points Rank and Multiple Choice block types too.

^ The new “Pick One/Many” dropdown for Multiple Choice blocks, which is now shown by default during survey setup.
Other Changes
The results page will now prompt you to check out relevant sample surveys if your survey has no participants yet.
There are now three image sizes you can pick when adding a main picture alongside your question text: thumbnail, large, and banner.
We’ve set more customization options to be shown by default during survey setup instead of hiding them away, like the “Profiles Per Set” variable for Conjoint Rank, the “Options Per Profile” variable for MaxDiff Rank, and the Min/Max Votes customization on both Order Rank and Multiple Choice block types (screenshot shown).
The MaxDiff Rank setup calculator and Conjoint Rank setup calculator have both had some bugs fixed and we’ve added extra flexibility so that you can test different setup configurations more easily.
