1. A method comprising:
- accessing, within an electronic survey system, an electronic survey comprising a plurality of survey questions, wherein each survey question of the plurality of survey questions is associated with a question identifier and comprises question content;
generating a survey representation document for the electronic survey by;
adding first question content corresponding to a first survey question of the plurality of survey questions to a first document segment of the survey representation document; and
mapping the first document segment of survey representation document to the first survey question of the electronic survey within the electronic survey system;
providing the survey representation document to a collaboration system through which one or more survey collaborators can access the survey representation document and edit the question content within the survey representation document;
receiving an indication of a modification to the first question content within the first document segment; and
updating, within the electronic survey system, the first question content corresponding to the first survey question based on the modification.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for dynamically generating a single survey representation document that includes the disparate components of an electronic survey maintained across one or more repositories by an electronic survey system. Furthermore, the systems and methods described herein provide the survey representation document for collaboration to one or more author computing devices, and synchronize any edits made to the survey representation document with the original electronic survey.

2. The method as recited in claim 2, wherein mapping the first document segment of the survey representation document to the first survey question of the electronic survey within the electronic survey system comprises using a first question identifier associated with the first survey question to link the first document segment to the first survey question.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a system to:
-
access, within an electronic survey system, an electronic survey comprising a plurality of survey questions, wherein each survey question of the plurality of survey questions is associated with a question identifier and comprises question content; generate a survey representation document for the electronic survey by; adding first question content corresponding to a first survey question of the plurality of survey questions to a first document segment of the survey representation document; and mapping the first document segment of survey representation document to the first survey question of the electronic survey within the electronic survey system; provide the survey representation document to a collaboration system through which one or more survey collaborators can access the survey representation document and edit the question content within the survey representation document; receive an indication of a modification to the first question content within the first document segment; and update, within the electronic survey system, the first question content corresponding to the first survey question based on the modification. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to; access, within an electronic survey system, an electronic survey comprising a plurality of survey questions, wherein each survey question of the plurality of survey questions is associated with a question identifier and comprises question content; generate a survey representation document for the electronic survey by; adding first question content corresponding to a first survey question of the plurality of survey questions to a first document segment of the survey representation document; and mapping the first document segment of survey representation document to the first survey question of the electronic survey within the electronic survey system; provide the survey representation document to a collaboration system through which one or more survey collaborators can access the survey representation document and edit the question content within the survey representation document; receive an indication of a modification to the first question content within the first document segment; and update, within the electronic survey system, the first question content corresponding to the first survey question based on the modification. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
