How can I edit challenges after players have completed it?

✅ What You Can Edit Safely

These types of edits will not affect existing completions:

• Challenge title and description: You can update the wording or phrasing.

• Instructions or hints: Clarify or enhance what’s already there.

• Media files: Images or videos attached to the challenge can be changed.

• Visibility or scheduling settings: You can adjust when a challenge appears or who sees it.

⚠️ What You Should Be Careful With

These changes might affect player experience or data:

• Challenge type (e.g., from quiz to poll): This is not allowed once players have completed the challenge, to protect data consistency.

• Answer options for quiz/poll challenges: Modifying or removing answer options after completions can affect scoring and analytics.

• Correct answers in quiz challenges: Changing the correct answer after submissions can make player scores inaccurate or unfair.

❌ What You Cannot Edit After Completion

• Challenge type cannot be changed after any completions are logged.

• Deleting a challenge will also delete all player completions tied to it.

📝 Why These Rules Exist

The system is designed to maintain fairness and data integrity. Changing critical components like correct answers or challenge types could:

• Skew leaderboard results

• Cause confusion among players

• Lead to mismatched analytics or rewards

If you need to introduce major changes to a challenge that has completions, a best practice is to:

1. Deactivate or hide the old challenge

2. Duplicate it and make your edits in the new version

3. Notify players if necessary
