You can close a survey at any time - regardless of completion percentage.

To close a survey cycle:

1. Select **Close survey** in the top right corner.
2. Select **Confirm**. 
   - Your survey is marked as completed. 
   - Any pending tasks for all forms are expired and removed from participant dashboards.

### Reactivate a survey

You can select **Reactivate survey** to open all of the previously expired tasks within a survey.

Once you reactivate a survey, all pending tasks are moved back to pending and sent out to the appropriate participants.

:::hint{type="info"}
Once a survey is past the end date you established when creating the survey, an **Overdue** indicator displays when you access the survey. However, this does not affect the survey status.
