CHOOSE YOUR STARTING QUESTIONS
Keep only prompts your respondents can answer. All questions remain available below.
3 questions selected. Nothing is submitted.
Read the answers carefully
What these answers cannot establish.
Do not identify collaborators.
Locks appear without explaining who can continue. This is an illustrative pattern, not observed customer data. Do not identify collaborators.
A useful starting point
Three questions for this specific decision.
Explain editing-lock behavior. These prompts examine presence awareness, blocked action, recovery guidance. Choose only questions your audience can answer. A missing detail can be answered with none; do not assume an issue occurred.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which blocked action surprised you?
Read for blocked action. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
What next step was unclear?
Read for recovery guidance. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate. What indicated another editor? Which blocked action surprised you? What next step was unclear?

Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that this entire experience was clear and easy?
What indicated another editor?
The first wording assumes a positive outcome and combines clarity with ease. The revised prompt asks about the concrete situation; respondents may report no difficulty.
A worked interpretation example
From a comment to a practical next step.
Illustrative scenario. These are not customer results.
Keep the finding specific
Locks appear without explaining who can continue.
Choose an action to test
Explain the permitted next editing step.
Check the experience again
After testing this change—Explain the permitted next editing step.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Locks appear without explaining who can continue.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.
From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Explain editing-lock behavior.
Invite relevant voices
Ask after an adult respondent has encountered this specific situation. For draft-copy testing, show the actual material first; accept none or not applicable when the issue did not occur.
Choose an action
Explain the permitted next editing step.
Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| What indicated another editor? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for presence awareness. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |
| Which blocked action surprised you? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for blocked action. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |
| What next step was unclear? | Optional free text; none or not applicable accepted | Read for recovery guidance. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Questions, answered.
Who should answer?
Product users who attempted the specific interface or workflow task; use synthetic examples without private records. Ask only about the step each person actually encountered; voluntary responses are not automatically representative.
What does the first question help explain?
Read for presence awareness. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. It supports this decision: Explain editing-lock behavior.
What should I preserve in the second answer?
Read for blocked action. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score.
How should I read the third answer?
Read for recovery guidance. Keep the specific explanation in the respondent’s own words rather than converting it into an unexplained overall satisfaction score. Do not identify collaborators.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Explain the permitted next editing step. After testing this change—Explain the permitted next editing step.—ask people who encountered the changed arrangement whether this original issue still occurred or did not occur: “Locks appear without explaining who can continue.” Invite a concrete explanation, including none or not applicable. Compare participant context and sample differences; a before-and-after survey alone does not establish causation.
