Permissions for adding or editing Assessments after a role has gone live

As a hiring platform, we're always working hard to make sure everyone has the best experience possible applying to your role. And part of that means looking out for times when candidates might inadvertently get treated differently if the process changed unexpectedly. We also want to protect against accidental edits to live roles.

For that reason, we have a few rules that govern edits to live roles, which are summarised below:

Action	Multiple-choice questions	Sift Questions	Structured Interview Questions
1. Adding questions	Yes, as long as you have not received any submitted applications. You just need to take the role back into draft mode and add the question(s).

2. Editing a    question's title  3. Retagging skills  4. Editing the main text of a question	Yes, as long as you have not received any applications AND the question does not come from the Question Library (i.e has been used in previous jobs).

What else should you do if you change questions after a role has gone live?

It's always a great practice to let know any candidates who have already started their application. You can inform candidates by:

1. going to the Manager of the role for which you changed questions. 

2. selecting all candidates (including started applications). 

3. sending them an email, by selecting the 'write about something else' option from the drop-down menu with core manage tasks.

If you'd like more details on how to select all candidates and send them an email, you can go to the article that describes the main elements of the Role Manager.
