When I respond to my test email, should the results show up under Responses?

Yes and no.

If you are logged into the system, it could happen that your response is not registered. I have noticed this behaviour before and I don't know if it is a bug or a feature and if this is still happening in LS 5.x.

When testing, I would always try to use a different browser than the one you are logged into the LS backend or use an icognito window to test. See if your responses appear then.

That was never a feature. Non of the developers use the software that much to experience that issue. And every power user no longer run into that issue /because they use two browsers or the privacy mode.I would be surprised if LS5 have fixed that issue.

Well, after messing around with the app, I think the answer is "no." The test email seems to be non-functional in terms of delivering responses to the questions. To do that kind of test, I had to set up a whole new survey with just myself as the only participant, add the questions, etc., then run the survey and send the invitation.

What exactly do you mean with "test email"? I am confused now.
