The main highlights

The main highlights of this new release include:

The new design

With our focus on your user experience, we've used global components across the platform for a consistent user experience, enabling you to navigate and carry out your tasks easily. From creating your first question to analysing complex data, every action feels a bit simpler and smoother. It is a big step forward in bringing in more clarity and meeting the expectations of the year (‘Fruity‘)twenty-three.

The new default admin theme

We've engineered a new default admin theme — minimizing distractions and bringing in more clarity and focus.

From the most important pages, like the dashboard, user management, and survey list, to alerts, tooltips, badges, tables, breadcrumbs, hover and focus states, pagination and buttons, sticky top bars, and back buttons, we touched it all and juiced the whole thing up.

What else?

Many more limes are coming your way — some minor hints to help you discover the new version.

Action buttons

All of them are now on the far right side of the tables. Click on the action button to check the next best actions.

Survey Settings & Survey Menu

We calmed down the survey menu and survey settings design and finetuned all pages from ‘Overview’ to ’Simple plugins’. Some pages still need some 🍋‍ and are work in progress. While on it, we also cleaned up the top bars a bit.

Survey structure

We've updated the user interface for a smoother experience. The sidebar, question editor, and settings are all limed up.

We are very concerned about security. Your survey/response data is stored in a separate database with a separate username/password for each LimeSurvey Cloud instance. The connection of your browser to our servers is also encrypted using SSL.

The data inside LimeSurvey is by default not encrypted because it is regularly accessed by the LimeSurvey application (it is not at rest); however, you can configure responses to certain question types to be always encrypted at rest. Moreover, for participant data, you can select certain fields to be always encrypted.

Furthermore, we create daily backups of your LimeSurvey data. That data is at rest and encrypted, stored safely on a different drive, but at the same hosting location.

LimeSurvey Discounts

Teachers and students must agree to only use LimeSurvey for classroom related work.

Applying for a discount is easy. There are only a few steps.

Step 1: Sign up for a free LimeSurvey account.

Step 2: Right after you sign up:

• For teachers: Email us your username and a scanned copy of the back and the front of your valid faculty ID.
• For Students: Email us your username and a scanned copy of the back and the front of your valid student ID.
• For non-profits: Email us your username and proof of your non-profit status or proof of your non-profit work (website, flyer or similar).

We will apply the discount after verifying the documents.

Step 3: We will send you a confirmation email after we applied the discount.

Step 4: Now you can order, and the discount should be automatically applied.  If it is not applied, do not order, but please get back in touch with us. Discounts cannot be applied retroactively!

Please note: Discounts are bound to the entity applying for the discount. For example, it is not allowed to apply for a student discount, then use a company invoicing address on ordering.
At its own discretion, LimeSurvey reserves the right to decline the offer of a discount or to end/revert the discount due to suspected abuse.

If you cancel your subscription, you will continue to have access to all features of your plan for the time period you already paid (this is the same for LimeSurvey ComfortUpdate and LimeSurvey Cloud). If you are using LimeSurvey Cloud and the subscription has expired, you will fall back to the Free package. You will still be able to access all collected responses and use all features of the Free version.
