How do I make changes to my REDCap project after it's in production?

REDCap databases often require changes even after data collection has started. After production, changes can be made to REDCap data collection forms in Draft Mode.

Draft mode can be entered from either the Designer or Dictionary pages.

*Only users with Project Design & Setup privileges will have access to the Designer and Dictionary

Once in Draft Mode, instruments can be updated similarly to when the database was in development. The changes won’t take effect for data entry until the changes are submitted to production.

More information on Draft Mode can be found in REDCap’s Help & FAQ, under the question “How do I make changes after I have moved my project to Production?”
