# Share a media survey link with participants

If you chose to invite your own participants as your mission’s recruitment method, you’ll need to share the link with them so they can access it. You can find your mission’s link at any time on the **Overview** tab of your mission:

![](/files/4b74568e1f315e281274afc42c0bf52bcbb73225)

{% hint style="warning" %}
While you can copy the link to your mission at any time, participants will only be able to access your mission once it’s launched. If you’ve closed your mission or have yet to launch it, this link will not work for the participant. For more information, see [Launch a media survey](/media-surveys/manage-a-media-survey/launch-a-media-survey.md) and [Close a media survey](/media-surveys/manage-a-media-survey/close-a-media-survey.md).
{% endhint %}

## Reactivate a share link

When inviting your own participants to a study, closing your study deactivates the share link. This prevents any new participants from joining using that link. However, you can reactivate the share link if you want to hear from more participants in the future.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open your study in the browser.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Edit** in the top right corner of the builder. A confirmation modal is displayed.

![](/files/84a8109392d3513b0ba36a4b4eb8afe4aa8ff0e2)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Edit mission**. Your study is placed into editing mode.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
(Optional) Make any desired changes to your study.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Launch** in the top right corner of the builder. A confirmation modal is displayed.

![](/files/0815b6f70b366cd90e949b76e3e38bab1937e720)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Launch** to confirm.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Now, your study’s share link is reactivated. If you've made any changes to your study, those are published as well. Participants who didn’t complete your study previously can now use the share link to do so. And you can also share the link with new participants you want to invite.

To close your study again, simply click **Close** in the top right corner of the builder:

![](/files/02db8fea655e2681ea7788b061aa7456af8a762c)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/media-surveys/manage-a-media-survey/share-a-media-survey-link-with-participants.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
