# How to Remove Available Demographic Questions from Your Survey

## Learn how to remove certain standard demographic questions during survey setup.

For most Benchworks national surveys, you can remove certain standard demographic questions during survey setup. Depending on the survey, these may include questions about age, race, gender, and sexual orientation. The available questions vary by survey.

You do not need to submit a customization request to remove questions available through this task. You can request to remove additional survey questions by contacting Benchworks Support.

### **How to Remove Demographic Questions**

From the **My Account** landing page, locate the order you want to update and click **Task List**.

1. Open **Manage Survey**.
2. Under Optional Tasks, select **Remove Survey Questions**.
3. Review the questions available for removal.
4. Select the checkbox next to each question you want to remove.
5. Click **Save Changes**.

After saving, preview your survey to confirm that the correct questions were removed and that the survey appears as expected.

Removed questions will not appear to respondents, and your institution will not receive data for those questions.

### **Questions Not Listed for Removal**

If a question is not listed under Remove Survey Questions, it cannot be removed through survey setup.

You can request to remove additional survey questions by contacting Benchworks Support. Review **[How to Customize Survey Content](https://help.benchworks.elentra.com/knowledge-base/request-customization-of-assessments?hsLang=en)** to learn which changes you can request and how to submit your request.

### **Questions?**
