How to edit existing survey questions in Connect - no longer able to edit in Survey123 without downloading Connect.

Question

I had to download Connect to "edit" my survey questions, but once in Connect, it won't open the xls to edit the questions. What's the secret to editing the questions on an existing Survey now that you have to use Connect. Before Connect, I could open and edit survey questions any time I wanted in Survey123.

Hi Allison,

Can you explain what led you to be prompted to download Survey123 Connect in order to edit your survey?  When a survey that has originally been designed and published using the web designer is downloaded to Survey123 Connect, the ability to edit that survey using the web designer is no longer possible.  It will require that all future edits be handled using the XLSForm in Survey123 Connect and re-published from the desktop application.

Are you able to open the XLSForm, edit, save, and publish from there?
