After the initial draft of your test has been built and saved, you can still make edits to it before recruiting participants by navigating back to the Build page. Only Editors and Admins can navigate to this page and make edits to a test.
Editing a test with results
When you head to the Build page of a test that already has results, you'll automatically enter in comment-only mode. You can bypass this by clicking Edit test:
We recommend using caution when making edits to a test that already has responses. Minor changes, like renaming the test or fixing a typo, are safe. Significant changes to content can invalidate or remove previously collected results. For example:
Changing the image in a click test will lose any clicks recorded on the old image
Changing a question's wording may invalidate responses collected under the old wording
If you've placed a Lyssna panel order or shared your recruitment link, people may already be taking your test even if their responses haven't appeared on your results page yet. For this reason, we recommend recruiting a fresh set of responses after any significant edit. You have two options:
Reorder on the same test: after editing, place a new order for the total number of responses you need, keeping in mind that previously collected responses may disappear or become invalid. You can also delete the old responses directly from your results page.
Duplicate the test: make the edits to a copy of the test and recruit separately. This requires an additional study to launch; quick, single-section studies are unlimited on all plans, but multi-section, live website, and recorded tests will use up another study.
If you opt to duplicate your test, have recruited from the Lyssna panel, and want unique responses from the previously collected ones, you can move both tests into a variation set before placing your order.
Editing a test as a team
Lyssna makes it easy to build a test as a team if you have multiple collaborators. If someone else is editing the test at the same time you are, you'll see their avatar at the top of the Build page:
You can click it to jump to the section they're currently editing. You can also see who most recently edited a section; their avatar will appear next to the section title.
All edits are auto-saved, and any changes made by your teammates will appear for you in real time.
Common questions
I accidentally deleted part of my test, can I get it back?
You will have the opportunity to undo the action if you delete a test section, question, or screenshot, but you will only be able to recover the item you most recently deleted. That means if you delete an image, and then a question, you'll only be able to recover the question and you'll need to upload your image again.
