{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** You may only edit Success Stories you created in the current reporting period, unless you are a collaborator, editable user, or Data Manager. Contact your Data Manager to access records from previous reporting periods. Organization Data Managers are listed in the [PEARS Directory](/accounts-and-permissions/accounts-and-permissions/directory.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**CAUTION:** For Extension organizations, changing the program area automatically adjusts the reporting period. Switching between SNAP-Ed and Extension program areas removes the Background field and SNAP-Ed Custom Data page.
