5. Clean Slate Stack Ranking: Starting With Zero Voting Options
Clean Slate Stack Ranking means starting with no ranking options. Instead, you collect all ranking options directly from participants. There are two ways that you can do Clean Slate Stack Ranking:
Update as you go: Each participant adds new statements to grow the ranking list, but doesn't rejoin to vote on statements added after their participation. This works fine when you're engaging a large participant base and are just looking to kick off the survey. You can also invite early participants to rejoin later and vote again.
Host in stages: Create a survey with only the Text Response block. Ask all participants to complete the survey. Temporarily close the survey (via survey settings), add a ranking block, and add all their answers to the ranking block. Then delete the Text Response question and ask participants to complete the survey using the same original link.
