b5f007d35e docs: fix broken path links, anchors, and tab rendering from RST-to-MDX migration (#37433)
* docs: resolve cross-file anchor mismatches from RST-to-MDX migration

The Sphinx-to-Docusaurus migration converted `:ref:`/`{ref}` links using
naive text-slugification, so anchors that pointed to headings in a
different file (e.g. release-summary tables linking into their
respective changelog pages) were emitted as same-page fragments and
silently resolved to nothing.

Built a label registry from the original Sphinx `.. _label:` / `(label)=`
targets to recover the true source file for each cross-reference, then
rewrote the affected links to point at the correct file + heading
anchor. Fixes 282 broken cross-file anchors, primarily in the mobile/
desktop/server release-summary pages, plus assorted same-page anchor
mismatches caught by re-auditing after the prior admonition/anchor fix.

* docs: manually resolve remaining anchor mismatches after cross-file audit

Hand-verified fixes for anchors that fuzzy-matching alone couldn't
safely resolve (confirmed against actual heading text/context, and in a
few cases against the original RST source, before applying):

- Typos and dropped words carried over from the original Sphinx docs
  (e.g. "bot-acocunts", "auto-follow-all-new-channel-threads" ->
  "follow-all-new-channel-threads").
- Sphinx auto-generated duplicate-heading IDs (#id1/#id3/#id4) resolved
  to their real target headings.
- Numbered-step TOC links in enterprise-roll-out-checklist.mdx that
  dropped the leading "N. " used in the actual heading slugs.
- Push-notification docs pointing at the wrong file entirely
  (environment-configuration-settings instead of
  push-notification-server-configuration-settings).
- SAML "saml-enterprise" label resolved to its true cross-file target
  (authentication-configuration-settings#saml-2-0), recovered from the
  original RST label definition that the automated registry missed
  because it sat after an RST transition marker.
- sso-saml-technical references converted from broken same-page/
  malformed-path anchors to correct page links.

* docs: fix SAML 2.0 anchor slug (saml-2-0 -> saml-20)

github-slugger strips periods rather than hyphenating them, so "SAML
2.0" slugifies to saml-20, not saml-2-0 as previously fixed.

* docs: fix broken path links found during docs/main migration cleanup

* docs: convert div.tab blocks to Docusaurus Tabs/TabItem components

* docs: restore missing Kubernetes deployment architecture diagrams

The RST-to-MDX migration never copied over the AWS/Azure/Oracle
architecture diagrams referenced by the deployment-architecture-at-scale
page, leaving broken images in each Tabs/TabItem.

* docs: fix 7 anchor mismatches from the fragment/heading audit

Covers three root causes from the anchor mismatch breakdown:
- Fragment repeated the target page's own title instead of a real
  heading, so the link is simplified to point at the bare page.
- Heading exists verbatim but lives on a sibling settings page
  (experimental-configuration-settings, push-notification-server-
  configuration-settings) rather than environment-configuration-settings.
- A page path was mistakenly pasted into a same-page #fragment instead
  of being used as a real cross-page link.

* docs: fix 8 anchor slugs that were close but didn't match the real heading

Repoints links whose fragment was a plausible guess (typo, reworded
heading, or wrong section) at the actual auto-generated slug of the
target heading, confirmed by inspecting each target page directly.

* docs: merge split Tabs blocks so tabs render horizontally

The div.tab conversion script split some sibling tab groups into
separate single-item Tabs blocks whenever a stray blockquote marker
sat between them, causing them to render stacked instead of as one
horizontal tab bar. Merges the MySQL/PostgreSQL and Team/Enterprise
Edition tab groups back into single Tabs blocks.

* docs: remove Azure tab and restore Kubernetes deploy content

The Mattermost Operator, Azure, and Oracle platform tabs on the
Kubernetes deployment guide were split across two separate Tabs
blocks (rendering stacked instead of as one tab bar) and all three
tab bodies were empty because the migration never flattened the
original RST include directives. Removes the unsupported Azure tab
and restores the Mattermost Operator and Oracle content from the
pre-migration RST sources as a single merged Tabs block.

* docs: unify Linux/Kubernetes/Containers deploy pages and fix FIPS/STIG placement

Kubernetes and Containers duplicated full install content across a top-level
page (Tabs) and orphaned sidebar subpages that nothing linked to. Reworked
both to follow the Linux page's pattern: shared content on the landing page,
platform-specific instructions live once in their own subpage.

Also removed configure-fips-at-install-time.mdx, which claimed FIPS is
available for native Linux installs — FIPS/STIG in Mattermost is a container
image property (Chainguard-based build), not available outside Docker/
Kubernetes. Consolidated all FIPS/STIG references onto
containers/fips-stig.mdx and pointed the Mattermost Operator subpage (not
Oracle OKE, which doesn't expose image selection) at it.

* docs: fix review findings — image alt text, Important callout markup, typo

- Replace generic alt="image" on scaling diagrams with descriptive text
  identifying cloud provider and user scale.
- Convert raw div.important markup in deploy-containers.mdx to the
  repo's <Important> component, matching usage elsewhere in the file.
- Fix "Matermost" typo in manage-your-display-options.mdx.

title: "Manage user surveys"
---
<PlanAvailability slug="all-commercial" />
In a self-hosted Mattermost deployment, you can use the Mattermost User Survey integration to gather direct feedback from your Mattermost users to identify what's working well and what's not with your Mattermost instance.
All user responses are stored in and remain within your self-hosted deployment, and no telemetry data is sent back to Mattermost. You can export a CSV report of NPS scores and user responses for further analysis, or to share your feedback data with Mattermost. You can schedule when each survey begins, define how long each survey lasts, specify teams excluded from the survey, as well as customize both a welcome message and a user question you want feedback on.
<Important>
The User Satisfaction Survey Plugin is the recommended approach for gathering user feedback, replacing the deprecated [User Satisfaction Survey Plugin](/administration-guide/manage/user-satisfaction-surveys) for new deployments.
</Important>
## Setup
You must be a Mattermost system admin to [upload the plugin](#install) to your Mattermost self-hosted deployment [enable it](#enable), [create surveys](#create-surveys), and [export survey responses](#export-survey-responses) using the System Console.
The User Survey integration is compatible with Mattermost v9.11.2 or later.
## Install
From Mattermost v9.11.2 (ESR) and Mattermost Cloud v10, this plugin is pre-packaged with the Mattermost Server. If your Mattermost deployment is on a prior release, download the [latest plugin binary release](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-user-survey/releases), and upload it to your server via **System Console \> Plugin Management**.
### Upgrade
We recommend updating this integration as new versions are released. Generally, updates are seamless and don't interrupt the user experience in Mattermost.
Visit the [Releases page](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-user-survey/releases) for the latest release, available releases, and compatibiilty considerations.
## Enable
Go to **System Console \> Plugins \> User Survey** to enable this integration.
Once the integration is installed and enabled, create surveys by completing configuration in the System Console, as described below.
### Create surveys
Under **Survey setup**, specify the date, time, and details for a new survey:
1. **Send next survey at**: Specify the date and time when the survey will begin rolling out to users.
> <div class="note">
>
> <div class="title">
>
> Note
>
> </div>
>
> A single survey can be active at a time. If you already have an active survey running, you'll need to reschedule your new survey to start on a date after the current survey expires. Alternatively, you can end the active survey early by selecting **End survey**.
>
> </div>
2. **Survey expiry (days)**: Specify how long the survey will be open to responses in days.
3. **Exclude specific teams**: Specify who will receive the survey. You can send the survey to all users, to all users on specific teams, or omit all users from specific teams.

4. **Survey message text**: Customize the introductory message text users see when prompted to complete the survey.
5. **Linear scale question (1-10)**: This question is required that helps calculate the NPS score.
6. **Textual question**: This question is required that helps gather user feedback.
7. **Textual question (Optional)**: You can optionally specify a text-based question for your survey.
8. Select **Save**. Your new survey is scheduled, and displays under **Active and past surveys** once the survey is shared with users.
![An example of the System Console configuration screen for defining the contents of a new user survey.](/images/survey-contents.png)
## Active surveys
When a survey starts, all users recieve a direct message from a feedback bot containing the active survey. The survey includes one mandatory scale-based question, and optional text-based questions.
![An example of the user survey provided to users.](/images/user-feedback.png)
Users must answer all required questions in order to submit their response. When a user selects **Submit**, their responses are recorded.
## Export survey responses
Select **Export responses** to download a CSV file containing NPS scores and user responses gatherered through the survey. You can export data from active surveys which will contain data collected so far.
