They’re quick to set up, fun to answer, and great for keeping your workplace connected and engaged. #### **Who can create polls?** - Users with the role permission "Can manage Posts" can create and share Polls with their own unit and sub units. - In groups, everyone who can create posts, can also share Polls. #### **What can polls be used for?** Polls are a simple yet powerful way to involve your team in everyday decisions—big or small. Send out a poll and let the team decide: **“What should we order for lunch?**" or **"What date works best for our summer party?"** They’re also great for involving employees in more meaningful choices. You might want to involve your staff in bigger decisions such as **“What should the name for our coming campaign be?”** or **"Which topics would you like to learn more about?"**   ### **👩‍💻 How to create and manage polls on desktop** #### **How to create a poll** From either your main feed or from a group feed, click "Create poll" In the form that appears: 1\.
