Sharing your unmoderated study

  • Updated

Once your unmoderated study is live, you can start testing it with people. There are different approaches to distributing your study to participants:

  • Copy study link: Share a link to your study via your own channels
  • Hire panel participants: Recruit participants from our panel. Learn more
  • In-product prompt: Add a popover to your website linking to the study. Learn more
  • Send Reach campaign: Email your participant database. Learn more

There are two options for your study link:

To access these options, click Copy study link on the live study page.

Tester tracking

Record every interaction your participants perform with your study.

It might be useful to toggle off this option when sharing a preview of your live study internally (to coworkers or friends, for example) and you don’t want those interactions to be recorded.

To disable participant tracking, click the Tester tracking toggle in the link options, or add the ?notrack=true parameter to your study link.

Disabling participant tracking creates a preview link. Those responses won’t be recorded, and won’t appear in the results dashboard.

Unique session

By default, Maze allows only one testing session per device. However, you can change this behavior to test with multiple users on the same device.

This may be useful for you when doing guerrilla usability sessions or in-person testing with multiple participants on a single device.

To disable unique sessions, toggle off Unique session, or add a ?guerilla=true parameter to your study share link.

Please note that it’s not possible to disable unique sessions on studies sent via Reach campaigns.

If you want to test on a mobile or tablet device, you can use the Maze Participate App to do this very easily. Learn more: Testing on the Maze Participate mobile app

URL parameters

You can also add URL parameters/tags to your study link to record custom metadata about individual sessions.

You can also send a preview link for a draft unmoderated study. To do so, follow the steps to access the Preview mode in the study builder, then copy the preview URL, which looks like this:

https://app.maze.co/maze-preview/mazes/000000

You can use this preview link to have your team members review your study, even without them having to sign in.

Why are my sharing options disabled?

Sharing options aren’t available for studies where result collection has been stopped.

Instead, you’ll see the following tooltip:

Share option disabled for stopped maze. Please start the maze to enable sharing.

Before sharing your study, you’ll need to restart the study once again.
