Editing a Budget After Activation

Editing a Budget After Activation

Consider making a duplicate of your simulation before attempting to edit a live simulation. 
Editing text fields, including in the entry/exit modals and info icons, is safe. However, if you make changes to monetary amounts, scenario question options, or the category/subcategory structure, the data you collect in Analytics or the CSV download may be inconsistent. If you delete a category, subcategory or question option, that data will be deleted as well. If you need to make changes to these elements of the simulation, we advise you to duplicate the simulation, make your changes, deactivate the old simulation (with data intact,) and then activate the new simulation. 

Editing a Live Simulation

To edit a live simulation, go to the Simulations section, select an active budget, and click on the edit icon. This will open the simulation for editing. This will make immediate changes to the live simulation that your users will see once they refresh the page.
