 **Note:** This chapter explains the __technical__ side to making later changes. From a __methodological__ point of view, each change can alter response behaviour -- on subsequent questions as well.

In order to guarantee scientific traceability, the date/time of any changes made during data collection should always be recorded. **Note:** This chapter explains the __technical__ side to making later changes.
