Hi ​@flaubert 👋

Thanks for your submission! Do you mind explaining a bit more about your use case? Are you submitting testing votes at the same time as real participant votes are coming in?

I only ask because if you test before your session, resetting all your results should work for you. That should leave your real results as clean and only include votes from actual participants.

 

I’d love to hear more about your Slido sessions 👍

Yes, I submitted a testing vote at the same time as real participants are coming in. I did it because I wanted to test the “hide/show results” feature and see how it would look like as a participant to see or not see the results. And as a participant, it didn’t change anything if i switched from hide to show the results, I couldn’t see what was voted before me.

@flaubert Thanks for explaining that the testing vote was submitted while real participant responses were already coming in. We understand why resetting all results would not be a safe option in that situation.

Hosts can remove individual Open text submissions, but individual Multiple choice votes cannot currently be removed. Selective deletion of individual votes is not something we’re planning right now, so we’re moving this to Not now, maybe one day.

We’ll keep the use case here for future reviews.
