Why cant I compare 2 images in survey mode?

I am unable to compare 2 or more images in survey mode. Why not? Why is this option not even available?

When you post a question you always need to tell the program you are using
There are MANY programs in a full subscription, plus other non-subscription programs
Please post the exact name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum

Open image files in Adobe Bridge.

Which version of Lightroom are you using?

This tutorial is for Lightroom Classic 2022.

Hope that helps.

You are likely using the cloud version of Lightroom which Adobe calls simply "Lightroom". This version of Lightroom which stores all your images in the cloud as opposed to on your local disks as Classic does misses many of the essential features you might find explained on the internet including survey mode. What you need is Lightroom Classic which has a working survey mode and can do many other things that Lightroom Cloud cannot do.

I still use Survey mode almost every day in Lightroom Classic. How is it not working? What is now happening if you select two or more images and enter Survey mode?

Is the command View > Survey available in the first place? If not, then some of the other replies might be correct that you might not be using Lightroom Classic.
