Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
Allow testing surveys prior publication
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating surveys, specially the complicated ones, sometimes is hard to predict if the resulting data will be in the most adequate format. This is specially important as currently the only way to download results from a survey is to export them in a CSV (or json, but most admins don't know how to use this format).
Describe the solution you'd like
We would like to be able to test a survey in a participatory space before it gets publicated. The admin could access the final page, answer the survey and then export the data without publicating the component. After realizing that the survey is optimum, the publication of the component will destroy the test data. Further unpublishing/publishing action won't destroy any data, only after the very first publication (maybe event optionally if necessary).
Describe alternatives you've considered
To use an alternative secrete participatory space with the same survey, but that would duplicate the administrator's work.

It would be great if the survey owner could send invites to specific email address or generate a test URL for the survey, so that users without admin access or an account on the platform could also test it.
Another thing to consider would be to add a big visible banner to the survey page when it is in the "testing mode". This would make it harder for the survey editors / admin users to forget to publish the survey when it goes live.
Very good ideas @ahu
Definitely the banner in "testing mode" will be there. Will see about the invites, that would be great too but it might be out of our budget.
