# Survey activity response reports

Once participants have responded to your [survey activity](/19/docs/set-up-a-survey-activity) you can view the results. Although learners cannot see the results they are not anonymous.

To access results you can either open the survey and click **View X responses** (where X will be the number of responses) or you can click the response report you wish to see from the **Administration** block. If you access these reports via responses you can still use the **Administration** block to change reports or the links at the top of the reports page.
