Edit a Project query
In SCOUT, you have the flexibility to edit your project queries at any time. However, it’s important to note that once you edit and save a query, your current results will be replaced with the updated data. If you want to explore a similar query without altering your current one, you can either create a new project or add a new page to your existing project.
Steps to Edit Your Project Query
- Click Edit in the Search section. Open your project and locate the search section. Click the Edit button to modify your query.
- After making changes to your query, click Search. This will display the updated results in real time, but your query changes will not be saved yet.
- Once you’re satisfied with the updated results, click Save. This will replace your previous query with the new one and save the changes.
Important: You can only restore your previous query before saving. Once saved, the former query and results cannot be recovered.
Tips for managing queries
Duplicate or add pages: If you want to test similar queries without overwriting your existing results, duplicate your project or add a new page to explore variations.
Preview before saving: Use the live preview after clicking Search to ensure your changes meet your expectations before committing to them.
