+====== Changes the Questionnaire During the Survey ======
 In an ideal world, a questionnaire is created, tested and then the survey can begin. Nevertheless, subsequent changes to the questionnaire cannot always be avoided completely -- whether it be correcting a spelling mistake, or an important answer or answer option is missing.

 **Problem 1:** When changing the questionnaire itself -- changing the order of questions or pages, inserting or removing questions, changing the presentation of the question ({{:button.settings.png?nolink|settings}}) -- all changes are saved immediately. This is also true when changes are made to PHP code elements: these are saved while typing, and in some cases do not work until changes are finished.
-**Problem 2:** If you insert new pages or shuffle pages around, then the allocation of the page number to the  recorded dwell time (TIME001 etc., [[:en:results:variables#antwortzeiten|Response Times]]) is no longer correct. If a page is given the number 2 initially, and (because another page was inserted before it), is then number 3 after the change, the dwell time is saved in TIME003. However, the old dwell time still remains in TIME002.

 If there are more significant changes to be made in the questionnaire (especially to the PHP code), making a copy of the questionnaire beforehand is recommended (**Compose Questionnaire** -> tab //Further questionnaires// -> duplicate button {{:button.copy.gif?nolink|Duplicate Questionnaire}}). Afterwards, ensure that the questionnaire used up to this point is set as default in //Default Questionnaire / Random selection for questionnaires//.
