Edit existing survey data

Submitters with the necessary permissions can edit surveys from the Sent folder.

Edit from Sent folder

Survey responses submitted from a user's device can be edited from the Sent folder in Survey123 Mobile.

Note:

The Sent folder must be enabled and editing of surveys in this folder must be allowed. The survey owner can enable this functionality in Survey123 Studio. For more information, see Sent folder.

1. On the Survey page, select Sent to access the list view of sent items.

2. Select the record that you want to edit.

   A menu appears, asking if you want to view the selected record or edit the selected record.

   Note:

   If the survey owner has disabled one of these options, it won't be present. If only one of these options is enabled, this menu is skipped.

3. In this case, choose Edit the survey.

   The survey opens with all answers from the initial record filled in.

4. Make your changes.

   Note:

   You cannot edit audio attachments. Image attachments can only be added, not edited.

   You cannot delete existing records in repeats.

   Calculations within the survey will be rerun when opening the record, unless questions have been manually overwritten. If the value was overwritten, the Recalculate button can be used to return to the calculated value.

5. When you are finished editing, send the data as normal.

   The survey record has been edited.
