Is it possible to add questions to a deployed survey project which already has data coming to the server?

Hi @raquelchaicoj,

It’s always possible to add questions whenever needed during an ongoing survey. But kindly please be informed that after adding question(s), you should redeploy your survey project so that the enumerators are able to download the new (updated) version of the questionnaire to their device. As a reference you could also have a look at the post that has been discussed previously.
