Uploading an updated script for Inquisit web

Hi there,
I've uploaded a script (and all the stimuli needed) using the web version of Inquisit. I noticed some small errors in my script that I would like to correct without unregistering the whole link for the study because the data collection is still running. Is is possible to correct errors in the script/ modify the script after the study link has been created so that future participants will get the updated version of the study without creating a new link?
Thank you for your help and your time

Yes, that's perfectly possible. Go into your web experiment's settings and simply upload the revised script in either step 1 or 2. You only need to make sure that the script name is exactly the same as the one you initially uploaded. I.e. if you registered a file called "example.iqx" originally, your revised script must be called "example.iqx" as well.

Thanks for your reply.
I've tried it once in step 1, and it did not work. However, changing the script in step 2 worked perfectly:) Thanks again
