# Making subsequent changes

**Subsequent changes** let feedback givers and moderators reopen a completed — but not yet [sealed](/en/c/feedbacks/sealing) — participation and make changes to it.

This is useful for corrections, and it also lets you capture results in a shared conversation based on the feedback gathered so far. In that scenario, the supervisor reopens the participation after the meeting and records any changes.

:::info
**Note:** For two-sided feedbacks (for example annual reviews), only feedback givers in the external-assessment perspective can make subsequent changes. For 360° feedbacks, only feedback givers in the perspective marked as **moderator** can change their participation afterwards. A self-assessment cannot be changed after the fact.

## Turn on subsequent changes

**To allow subsequent changes:**

1. [Open the settings of the feedback process](/en/c/feedbacks/open-settings)
2. Scroll to the **Further Settings** section at the bottom of the page

## Change a result after the fact

Once the option is on, eligible feedback givers can change a result they have already completed.

**To change a result after the fact:**

1. Open the [result of a feedback process](/en/c/feedbacks/view-review-result) in which you took part as a feedback giver
2. Click **Correct assessment** in the top right of the page

   ![The Correct assessment button on the result page](/attachments/feedbacks/nachtraegliche-aenderungen/ergebnis-korrigieren-button.png)
3. You are taken back into the participation, with your previous answers already pre-selected
4. Work through the pages of the questionnaire and make the changes you want
5. **Important:** be sure to complete the participation again on the last page of the questionnaire. Only then are your changed results stored as a completed participation (green participation indicator) in the system.

## Requirements and limitations

The **Correct assessment** button only appears when all of the following are true:

* **Subsequent changes** is turned on for the feedback process
* Your own participation is already completed
* The edition has not yet ended (the end date is in the future)
* The result is not yet [sealed](/en/c/feedbacks/sealing) and no sealing process is running

:::info
**Note:** Once a result is sealed, no more subsequent changes are possible — even if the option is turned on.

There are two other ways to edit completed feedbacks after the fact:

* [Reopen a participation](/en/c/feedbacks/reopen-participation): HR admins and supervisors can reopen another person's completed participation.
* [Edit answers](/en/c/feedbacks/edit-answers): HR admins and management can edit a participation's answers directly, without the participant having to do anything.
