After building a Panel in Rally, you may wish to periodically run a Panel refresh Survey to ensure your Panelist data stays fresh and updated or to capture a few new data points on Panelists to enrich your Participant database.

There are multiple methods and places in Rally to do this. The process is similar, but varies slightly depending on where you choose to begin. You can select Panelists to create a new Study with or add them to an existing Study. Either flow can be completed from the Panels, Studies, or People pages in Rally. Learn more in each section below.
