# Going to live surveys

You can easily launch the selected survey, by clicking on the URL bar in the quick preview area.

**Note:**

Please remember, launching the survey will be counted as an active preview, meaning all your interactions with the survey will be recorded in the database. Even if you just visit the online survey, it will effect your statistics.

**Tip:**

Simply clicking on the URL of your survey will copy it. You don’t have to manually copy that. ;)
