# Managing Survey Data Change Permissions ## Configuring Survey Data Changes for Sites Sites are allowed to make changes to all survey data by default. You can restrict their access to make data changes by survey type or for specific surveys. The setting you pick affects the surveys in all collection versions for the study. You can also set a time limit for how long sites are able to change data after the survey is submitted. If you turn off data change permissions for any survey, they can still submit a Data Change Request that can be reviewed and approved in Study Home. 1. In Studio, access the **Study Settings** tab for the study and select **Data Changes**. 2. Select the **Edit** icon () in the ePRO, eClinRO, or Composite row of the Survey Data Changes table. Note that all surveys that have ever been included in an approved collection will be in this list, even if they are not part of the current approved collection. 2. Turn on the **Allow Data Changes** toggle to enable changes for that survey type. 3. Enter a number in the **Data Change Submission Window** field, or leave the field empty to allow changes for the duration of the study.
