# Change Management

Use Change Management when an existing project has a revised questionnaire or related project files. It helps you identify the update, resolve any ambiguity, and apply the resulting script changes with a reviewable record.

## Before you begin

You need an existing project with its current questionnaire loaded, plus the revised files for the next version. Changes are easiest to identify when the revised questionnaire uses tracked changes or highlights. See [What We Support](/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management/what-we-support.md) for the full guidance and limitations.

## The workflow at a glance

1. [Start a new version](/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management/starting-a-new-version.md) — upload the revised files and start Change Management.
2. [Review changes](/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management/review-stage.md) — answer, dismiss, or add clarifications so the intended change is clear.
3. [Apply changes](/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management/apply-stage.md) — preview and accept each proposed script update, then finish the version.

{% hint style="info" %}
Change Management proposes and applies script updates; it does not replace your final QA. Review the generated clarifications and previews before finishing the version.
{% endhint %}

If the workflow does not behave as expected, see [Troubleshooting](/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management/troubleshooting.md).

# 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/survey-programming-dimensions/change-management.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.
