# How to make anonymous responses possible
If you have created a CrowdNewsroom that is accessible to everyone, you can allow anonymous responses. Participants will not be asked to provide their contact details.
***
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
To do this, simply go to your CrowdNewsroom's *Settings*. If the *Open* *to everyone* option is enabled, the *Collect contact information* setting will appear. Turn this toggle off to allow anonymous responses.
{% hint style="danger" %}
**Note:** If an active member is signed in while participating in a CrowdNewsroom, their responses will be linked to their contact information, even if anonymous participation is enabled. To remain anonymous, they must sign out before completing the CrowdNewsroom.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
Done! Responses submitted in your CrowdNewsroom can now be made anonymously.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
