✍ Formatting Text with Markdown

Markdown lets you add simple formatting—like bold, italics, and links. This is especially helpful for emphasizing instructions, highlighting keywords, or linking to external resources (like product pages or privacy policies).

💡 When to Brand vs. Not Brand

  • Brand your study if you’re recruiting from your own customer base or want participants to clearly recognize your organization.
  • Keep it neutral (default Listen Labs styling) if you’re using a third-party panel or testing brand perceptions where your identity might bias responses.
