# What if I update any subjective questions, will the changes automatically reflect in assessment?

Managing subjective questions and assessment updates requires careful planning to ensure a smooth and error-free experience for all participants. This article explains how changes to subjective questions impact your assessments and outlines best practices to follow.

**Updating Subjective Questions**
Subjective questions require open-ended responses from candidates, which can be in the form of text, audio, video, or code. If you wish to modify these questions, **please note that any changes will not automatically reflect in ongoing assessments. To apply updates, you will need to re-add or manually update the question in the assessment settings.**

**During Ongoing Assessments:**
Once invitations have been sent to participants, it is strongly advised to avoid making significant changes to the assessment while it is in progress.
||| Modifying an assessment while participants are actively taking it may cause errors or confusion in the assessment process.

| Best Practices:
| **Pre-Assessment Review**: Review and finalize all assessment questions before sending out invitations. Ensure that questions are clear, accurate, and error-free.
| **Version Control**: If you anticipate needing to make updates, consider creating separate versions of the assessment and assigning them accordingly. This allows you to manage changes without disrupting ongoing assessments.
| **Participant Communication**: If changes are unavoidable during an ongoing assessment, communicate them clearly to participants to minimize confusion.
| **Post-Assessment Review**: Once the assessment is complete, review the results and questions to identify areas for improvement in future assessments.
