The 7-day free trial works: 30 credits, no credit card. - An active position. ## Steps ### 1. Open Edit position Open the position from **Positions** and choose **Settings** at the top right. **Edit position** sits at the top of the page. The header shows the position is **Active**. ### 2. Edit in the same wizard The wizard opens on **Define the role**, titled **Edit position** with the position's name and an **Open** pill. Every step is ticked, so you can go straight to the one you want to change. Opening the wizard changes nothing. ### 3. Change a question In **Configure screening**, open **Interview** in the rail. Each question has a menu with **Add video**, **Replace question** and **Remove question**. Here the last question is removed. ### 4. See the change marked as unpublished As soon as you change something, a banner reads **Unpublished changes**, with who edited and when, and says candidates still see the current version until you publish. The rail marks the changed section **Unpublished**, here Interview with 4 questions. A note says scoring criteria update for changed questions when you review, and candidates already screened keep the scores they got against the previous criteria. ### 5. Change the candidate experience On **Review and activate**, the candidate experience is editable too. Here a text **Welcome message** is added. On a live position the footer button reads **Publish changes** where a new position has **Activate position**. ### 6. Leave and keep the draft You do not have to publish now. Choose the X at the top right. Truffle asks what to do with **Unpublished changes**: **Keep editing**, **Leave, keep the draft** or **Discard changes**. Keeping the draft saves your edits next to the live version. ### 7. Find positions with a draft waiting On **Positions**, a position with a draft carries an **Unpublished** chip next to its title. ### 8. Check what candidates see meanwhile While the draft waits, the position's link still shows the live version. Here the welcome page still lists **5 Questions** and has no welcome message. ### 9. Come back to the draft The position's header also shows **Unpublished changes**. Choose **Edit position** again and the banner is waiting at the top of every step, with **Review and publish** and **Discard changes**. ### 10. Review what you are publishing Choose **Review and publish**. Review lists the sections you changed, here **Publishing changes to 2 sections**: Interview and Welcome message. Publishing runs the same go-live checks as a new position. ### 11. Publish the changes Choose **Publish changes** in the footer. Truffle opens the position's candidates and confirms **Changes published**: candidates now see the updated position. The **Unpublished** chips are gone. ### 12. Check the candidate view The link now shows the new version: the welcome message at the top and **4 Questions**, with the estimated time updated to match. ### 13. Or throw a draft away To drop edits you have not published, open **Edit position** and choose **Discard changes** in the banner. Truffle confirms **Changes discarded**, and the position stays as candidates see it. ## FAQ **Do candidates see my edits while I am still working?** No. Edits to a live position wait as a draft. The position's link keeps showing the current version until you choose Publish changes. **What can I change on a live position?** Anything in the wizard, including questions, assessments, qualification checks, and the welcome and completion messages. All of it waits in the same draft. **What happens to candidates who already finished?** They keep the scores they got. Scoring criteria update for changed questions when you review, and candidates already screened were scored against the previous criteria. **How do I know a position has changes waiting?** An Unpublished chip shows on its row in Positions, and Unpublished changes shows next to its name in the position header. The wizard banner says who edited it last and when. **Can I undo a draft?** Yes, before you publish. Choose Discard changes in the wizard banner, or in the dialog when you close the wizard. The live version stays as it is. ## Exact labels in the product These strings are captured from the live product and verified automatically, so they can be quoted directly: `Edit position` · `Edit position: Sales Development Representative (demo, manage)` · `Open` · `Configure screening` · `Add video | Replace question | Remove question` · `Unpublished changes` · `Edited by Priya Nair · just now.
