Editing responses
You can edit response text that you have added to a question, and you can insert new responses, delete responses, and reorder responses in the question. You can also edit responses or subjects that you add to a grid question.
If the subjects or responses come from a shared list, you must edit them in the list itself, not in the question. For more information, see
Editing a shared list.
