What is an in-place revision?

An in-place revision (IPR) allows you to make a study design change and apply it to existing study versions that were previously deployed to Oracle Health Sciences InForm. When you update a study by deploying a new study version, you can only modify forms that have not been started in Oracle Health Sciences InForm. However, the in-place revision feature allows you to modify an item on a form and deploy the changes to all instances of the form in a specified study version, including forms that were started or completed in that study version.

You create an in-place revision on a top-level item or a section by selecting the form from the Visit Schedule and displaying the Layout tab. The annotated study book for a study optionally includes a listing of the in-place revisions created for a study.
