Step 5: Code Frame Review

Review, edit, and approve the AI-generated code frames before automated coding begins.

Layout: Split panel - codes on the left, response assignments on the right

Selecting a question: Use the dropdown at the top to switch between questions. A checkmark appears next to approved questions.

Reviewing codes:

Each code shows:

• Code number and label

• Response count (how many responses are assigned to this code)

• Source badge: "AI" (generated) or "User" (manually added)

Editing codes:

▎ After merge, split, or add operations, the AI automatically re-runs code assignment in the background. You'll see a brief processing indicator.

Assigning responses manually:

On the right panel:

• Each response shows its text and currently assigned code(s)

• Click the + button to assign a code from the dropdown

• Click the × on a code badge to remove an assignment

• Use the search box to find specific responses

Multi-coding enforcement:

• If multi-coding is OFF: The + button disappears after 1 code is assigned

• If multi-coding is ON: The + button disappears after reaching the max codes per response

Approval workflow:

Each question goes through three states:

1. Draft → Click "Mark as Proposed" when you're satisfied with the code structure

2. Proposed → Click "Approve" to lock the code frame, or "Revert to Draft" to keep editing

3. Approved → Codes are locked and ready for automated coding

▎ You must approve ALL questions before continuing. The Continue button remains disabled until every question shows a checkmark.
