Collaboration<\/h3>\n

You can now grant other members of your organization permissions to update your own surveys. In this way, you no longer need to transfer ownership of your surveys for others to work on them. To grant others permission to update your survey, share it with a shared update group.<\/p>\n

Members of a shared update group<\/a> can modify items in the group, even if they do not own them. Only the owner of the item can delete the item and change its sharing, but other items properties can be modified by anyone in that group.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1169562,"id":1169562,"title":"Share Update Survey","filename":"Share-Update-Survey.png","filesize":39748,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Share-Update-Survey.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/survey123\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-survey123-march-2021\/share-update-survey","alt":"Survey123 What's New March 2021.
