Is it possible for an administrator (me) to edit survey responses?

 

I recently had several people fill out surveys and because of a mistake I made, the hidden fields that allows me to credit them for their surveys are absent.  I would like to add the hidden field values for these surveys.  Is this possible?

    Thanks @Liz.  I tried it out -- Google Sheets does let me edit the data in the spreadsheet, but I kinda wanted to have the modifications propagate to typeform itself.

     

    I sync data from typeform.com to my own local database regularly using the typeform API, and I suppose I could make local changes and add code to ensure responses are never re-synced afterwards.  I’ll mull that option over.  Thanks for the info.

    Let us know if you end up using that option and how it goes, @plujon !
