# Surveys

### What is a survey in Zigpoll?

A survey represents the popup or embedded form you will see on the page. You can have unlimited surveys with all [Zigpoll plans](https://docs.zigpoll.com/subscription-plans).

Each survey contains a collection of [Slides](https://docs.zigpoll.com/slides) in some order. A slide can be variety of things like a question, a statement, or an email capture form. You can learn more about Slides here:

### Customizing the appearance of your surveys

{% endcontent-ref %}

### Making sure your survey is visible

By default all surveys are hidden. This is done intentionally so that you can preview the survey before showing it to your customers.

When you switch a survey to be visible it will become public for all to see. You can [preview](https://docs.zigpoll.com/polls/poll-preview) your survey while it is invisible to make sure it works the way you want before going live.
