# 2. Review the code frames

Use the question switcher or the previous and next controls to move between questions.

The left panel shows:

* All responses
* Uncoded responses, when any remain
* Each code's number, label, response count, and percentage
* Fixed Other and None codes, when enabled

Select a code to filter the response panel and view its description. Use **Search responses…** to search across the selected question's responses.

#### Edit the frame

You can:

* **Edit a code:** change its number or label.

* **Add a code:** enter a label and, optionally, a description. Metaforms reassigns responses after the code is added.

* **Merge codes:** select two or more code checkboxes and select **Merge**.

* **Split a code:** select the scissors control, enter two labels, and select **Split & Re-run AI**.

* **Delete a code:** remove the code and leave its assigned responses uncoded until they are reassigned.

#### Reassign responses manually

In the response panel:

* Select the + control to assign a code.

* Select the × on a code badge to remove that assignment.

<figure><img src="/files/BqYVwwZfmp1re8cFwE7t" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Select **Uncoded** in the code list to focus on responses that still need a code.

The assignment control follows the multi-coding setting. When multi-coding is off, the + control disappears after one code is assigned. When it is on, the control disappears after the configured limit is reached.

#### Change coding settings during review

Select **Settings** to revisit the coding configuration.

* Multi-coding changes are applied immediately to the current frames.
* Structure, fixed buckets, and sentiment changes require **Regenerate code frames**.

> **Important:** Regenerating rebuilds every question's code frame and replaces manual frame edits. Metaforms shows the affected downstream work before applying the change.

#### Export and approve frames

* Select **Export Code Frame** to download the project's code frames as an Excel workbook.
* Select **Approve** when the current question's frame is ready.
* Select **Approve all** to approve every generated frame that has not yet been approved.

An approved frame can be moved back to draft by selecting **Approved** again. Every question must be approved before **Continue to Coding Summary** is enabled.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.metaforms.ai/open-end-cleaning-and-coding/open-end-coding/2.-review-the-code-frames.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
