To Restart an Existing Meeting

Restart your meeting to clear out test data or to reuse it for different sessions

Written by Aaron Lifshin

Before your event, you'll want to play around with MeetingPulse to see how your audience will experience it. We recommend doing the testing in the same meeting you'll use for your live event. Just restart the meeting to clear out your test data.

If you’ve got an event with multiple sessions, you may want to use the same meeting. To separate the sessions into different reports, end the meeting between sessions and reset it.

There are 2 places you can restart a meeting:

From the My Meetings page

Open the menu on the far right side of the meeting row and select Restart meeting.

From inside the meeting

You can also restart the meeting directly from within the meeting dashboard by clicking the Restart icon in the upper-right corner.

After selecting Restart meeting, you’ll see options to:

  • Keep or clear attendee submissions such as Q&A and Poll responses

  • Specify a meeting date

  • Keep the attendee link active

Select your preferred settings and click Restart.

What happens when you restart a meeting?

Restarting creates a fresh session of the same meeting while keeping:

  • The same meeting URL

  • Existing meeting settings and structure

  • Attendee invite list and personal codes

Previous attendee submissions are saved in the meeting report as a previous session.

Depending on the restart options you select, you may also choose whether to keep or clear:

  • Q&A submissions

  • Poll responses

  • Other attendee-generated content

Note: Restarting a meeting does not delete previous reports. Earlier session data remains available in the reporting history.
