# Managing Surveys

As explained earlier in [Getting started ](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide/), when you log into [your account ](https://app.surveylegend.com/my-surveys/), under the My surveys section, you see a sortable list of all your surveys.

## Sorting surveys

You can easily sort your surveys by the time they are created, or alphabetically, using a sorting dropdown menu which is located on top of the survey list.

## Searching for surveys

You can also search for a specific survey using the search box.

It is a good idea to [rename ](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide/renaming-surveys/)your surveys properly, to be able to find them more easily using the search box.

## Quick preview of surveys

To quickly preview your previously created surveys, you can simply click or tap on survey thumbnails. Then you will get a quick preview of the selected survey on the right hand side in the Dashboard.

This is a passive preview, which means if you interact with your survey no data will be collected. Read more about [previewing your surveys ](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide/previewing-surveys/)here.

Selecting a survey not only provides you with the possibility of quickly previewing it on the right hand side, but also gives you several options to work with your surveys.
