# Edit an Attached Survey

Learn how to edit the details of a survey that has been attached to a program activity in PEARS.

After attaching a survey to a program activity, you can edit its details, such as the survey instrument, survey type, delivery date, name, and aggregation setting.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to the Evaluation Section

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Engage** menu in the top navigation bar and click **Program Activities**. Select the program activity from the list to open its detail page, then click **Evaluation** in the progress panel.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click Edit

In the list of attached surveys, find the survey you want to modify and click the **Edit** button in the **Actions** column. The action buttons are hidden once the program activity is marked complete; see [Mark a Program Activity as Complete](/engage/program-activities/mark-a-program-activity-as-complete.md) to mark it incomplete first.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Update the Survey Details

Modify any of the following fields as needed:

* **Survey** — Change the survey instrument attached to this program activity.
* **Type** — Change the survey type (Pre, Post, Follow-Up, or Retrospective).
* **Date Delivered** — Update the date the survey was administered.
* **Name** — Update the custom name for this attached survey instance.
* **Aggregate responses** — Change whether responses are entered as aggregated totals or individually.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**CAUTION:** Once responses have been added, the **Survey** and **Aggregate responses** fields are locked and can no longer be changed. **Type** is locked as well, except for Data Managers.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save the Changes

Click the **Save** button to apply your changes to the attached survey.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** Once responses have been added, the only way to change which survey instrument is attached is to remove the current survey and attach a new one. Removing a survey also deletes all response data associated with it.
