# Skills Survey via Self Review
> Enables top-down data collection using organization-specific skill templates.
The previous Survey feature has been integrated into the Self Review.
The Self Review feature frees you from the risks of inconsistent terminology in self-reporting and missing critical skill information that should be collected.
## Publishing a Survey
Select the **Self Review** tab from **Skills Hub** in the upper left of the dashboard to get started.
Self Review should be selected by default.
Then click on the leftmost card to begin creating a Self-review Survey.
Templates can also be downloaded from the UI. The upload file must be a **CSV** or a single-sheet **.xlsx** file. If no errors occur during upload, Creating is "Done!". The created Survey should be listed with **Draft** status.
You can obtain the initial framework ideas based on O\*NET data [here](https://utils.zipteam.com/skill-framework-builder). We also offer other predefined skill templates. Please contact [support@zipteam.com](mailto:support@zipteam.com) for more information. Our [best practices](/en/best-practices/anti-patterns#unsure-what-to-include-in-the-skill-template) might be helpful.
When you click on the created Survey, you can verify that the loaded template has been mapped correctly. Let's check if the Survey has the expected structure.
Once you've confirmed everything, click **Publish** in the top left, check the confirmation screen, and click Publish again to make your Self-review Survey available for all users in the workspace to respond.
Once published, the survey will appear on every member’s home dashboard until it’s completed, skipped or closed.
The published Survey will change to **Live** status.
## Managing a Published Survey
**Checking a Response Status**
You can check response status sequentially from the **Response** tab.
### Edit and Delete a Survey
The following actions can be taken from the ellipsis.
* Rename a Survey
* Exporting Framework(Template)
* **Delete a Survey**
**Deleting operation cannot be undone.**
### Sharing your Survey
You can invite coworkers through **Share** to review responses together. Shared users will be able to view the responses.
To download responses, invited users must themselves have Manager or Admin roles.
## Closing a Survey
When you have received sufficient responses, or when you want to publish an updated new Survey, you should close the current Survey. End the Survey by clicking **Close** in the top left of the selected Survey.
**This operation cannot be undone.**
## Exporting a Response
Survey responses can be exported to a CSV file from **Response** > **Download** button at any time. If you want to check the progress, you can download it before closing the survey.
You can obtain professional context such as skill usage status and years of experience, as shown in the sample below.
