## About the Surveys Page
All surveys appear on the main **Surveys** page, regardless of how they were created:
- Independent surveys
- Surveys attached to `News Announcements`
- Surveys attached to `Tasks`
This centralized view makes it easy to manage and review all surveys in one place. See [[Attaching Surveys to News and Tasks]] for more on attached surveys.
