The Response Preferences feature lets you control access to responses and manage how they are shared. You can enable or disable the generation of response links for individual responses and download links for merged documents, signatures, and file uploads. This gives you the flexibility to choose whether shareable links are available for download in integrated applications. By default, these options are turned off to ensure the safety of responses and prevent unauthorized access.

- You can choose whether to make individual survey responses public.
- You can decide who can download documents, signatures, and uploaded files from your survey. This lets you share specific response data with certain people, keeping sensitive information private and only accessible to authorized members.
Who can access it?
All users who have signed up for Zoho Survey can access response preferences. However, the advanced features under link sharing, such as SAML authentication and sharing within the organization, are exclusively available to the enterprise-level users.
