With Mentimeter it is possible to re-use a presentation, by creating a new historical session, as many times as you need as a Presenter. This can be used for instances where you would like to present again, gathering time-specific results for the same audience, or presenting to a new audience. To learn how to create a new historical session, for the same presentation, check out this help article.
By creating a new session, this makes it possible to collect and compare answers from each time the questions are asked, in order to identify trends. If you work in a business setting, the use of trends, for example, can be especially useful when administering a pulse check for employees, to gauge how the results change over time. Be creative and feel free to adapt this handy feature to your own needs.
