NOTE: When you are using versioning, status 'Activate' can no longer go back to 'In Preparation'.

Once you have activated the survey version, you only have the options to set it as 'Obsolete' or 'Create Version'.

However, you can go back to using an old version.

Only one version at a time can be active.

If you have one version 'In Preparation', you cannot create a new version. This is, because the one you have 'In Preparation' counts as this already.

You cannot have two same versions subsequently, there has to be a change.

You cannot change the question type for already existing questions coming from a previous survey version (this might lead to inconsistencies).

New questions can be of any type.
