After collecting paper survey responses, you may need to correct recognition errors or verify handwritten fields. PaperSurvey gives you full control over who performs this verification, whether it is you, your employees, students, or outsourced personnel.

To modify survey responses:

1. Open your survey and go to the **Responses** tab
2. To find a specific entry, use the search or filter options in the column headers (e.g., search by entry ID or identifier)
3. Toggle the **Edit** switch in the toolbar to enable editing
4. Click on any cell to modify the response value

You can also link directly to a specific entry by adding a filter to the URL, for example: `https://www.papersurvey.io/app/surveys/my-survey/responses?public_id[0]=WEB_123`

To minimize costs, PaperSurvey leaves data verification to your discretion so you can choose the most efficient approach for your team.

## How to Invite Someone to Your Account

You have several options for inviting additional users to your account.

1. **Member Access**: Invite users as members to grant them full access to [papersurvey.io](https://papersurvey.io). They can create, update, or remove surveys and responses. This method is suitable for users you completely trust.

2. **Verification Operator Access**: Invite users as verification operators, granting them access to the verification area for specific surveys in your account. You can set a limit on their access duration. This approach is ideal when you want people to verify responses without giving them full access to collected data. It also ensures anonymous verification, as operators can only view question excerpts and, if necessary, open the full page.

Verification Operators do not need to create an account on [papersurvey.io](https://papersurvey.io). To begin verification, they only need to open an unguessable link sent to their email address.
