Survey123- Publicly shared survey for desktop changed URL on its own?

[KevinDunkin1]

I created a survey in a previous version of Connect and upgraded to 2.6 successfully all with the survey still working. It has stopped working at the old URL and I now notice a new release of Connect has been made available, 2.8.4. My previous URL included "webclient" and now it includes "shares" in its place.

Is this expected? It has generated complaints from departments and the public citizens using it. Was this announced?Did I miss something along the way? Is this related to the update? Should I republish my survey through the new Connect? Is republishing surveys through updated Connect versions a recommended workflow?

Hi Kevin,

Yes, this is expected - the 'web client' based links were transferred to 'share' starting in version 2.4 as part of finalizing the new web forms.

Thanks James!

This came as a surprise and I only now need to update links on websites, looks like any previous postings with 'webclient' no longer are functioning as of this release as mine have worked up until just very recent\potentially just beginning today.
