When ordering a multi-session or longitudinal playtest, you can use a [unique survey for each day](https://start.playtestcloud.com/product-updates/custom-surveys-for-longitudinal-multi-session-playtests) or session using your own preferred survey platform (you can also use the native survey tool in the Player Insights Platform™). Before launching the playtest, you can test the survey integration to make sure everything is working properly, similar to the [Single-Session Playtest](https://start.playtestcloud.com/blog/single-session-playtesting-at-playtestcloud) order form. If the same survey is used for multiple days or sessions, you'll get a warning to make sure your survey supports multiple submissions (helpful to keep things running smoothly for the rest of the test). All [subscription levels](https://www.playtestcloud.com/pricing) that include external surveys already have access to this new feature.
