Share the poll and vote
Share your poll with other users to invite them to participate in your poll or embed the poll on pages or blog posts using the Polls macro. This allows the poll to be available for other users. As long as other users do not have the exact link to your poll, this poll is visible only to you.
Users must add the relevant poll(s) using the Polls macro to a Confluence page and then share this page (in server) or directly share the poll link from Polls Administration (in cloud) with other users.
Once the poll is accessible, users can select the preferred poll option to add their vote to the poll.
Every poll has its own unique URL and is only known to users you share the link with. Unless the exact URL is known, others cannot access the poll.
The user can see only those polls that they created in the polls list. Other users cannot browse or discover polls unless the poll is shared with them or is embedded in a wiki page with relevant page permissions.
You can use page restrictions to limit access to the poll when embedding a poll on a wiki page.
View poll report
Users can see the progress of voting as a bar chart which contains details such as the number of votes per option, voter names and so on. This chart is available on the page with the specified poll(s) or when the relevant poll is selected from All Polls (server)/Polls Administration (cloud). See the Administrator guide for details.
Perform actions on poll
Users can edit a poll, make copies of a poll, reset the votes and restart a poll, close the poll and even delete the poll. Visit the How to work with polls tutorial to know more.
Stop voting for the poll
You can set a date and time to automatically close a poll during poll creation itself. If this option was not used, you can manually close a poll with this action.
Click Close (server) or the icon (cloud) to stop voting for a poll. A confirmation message is shown. Select Yes to proceed or No to cancel the action.
If users access a closed poll, the results are shown directly. It is also not possible to undo choices or add options once the poll is closed.
