# Edit an Attached Survey

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

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to the Evaluation Section

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Engage** menu and click **Program Activities**. Select the program activity from the list to open its detail page, then scroll to the **Evaluation** section or 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.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Update the Survey Details

Modify any of the following fields as needed:

* **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.
* **Collect Responses Online?** — Enable or disable online response collection via a public link.
* **Expiration Date** — Set or update the expiration date for the public link.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**CAUTION:** Changing the **Aggregate responses** setting after responses have already been entered may affect existing response data. Review your data before making this change.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save the Changes

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

{% hint style="info" %}
**TIP:** To change which survey instrument is attached (rather than just editing its details), you will need to remove the current survey and attach a new one. Removing a survey also deletes all response data associated with it.
{% endhint %}
