Modify requirements

How you go about modifying existing requirements depends on how they are stored: in a LiveDoc Document or in the integrated tracker. Modifying requirements defined in a Document is very straightforward; simply open the LiveDoc and edit it as you would any office document.

Requirements created directly in the integrated tracker must be edited using that tool. Generally the Table view is best for changing text content or data fields. The tracker is especially useful if you want to edit the same field for multiple requirements, for example, to set the same status or assignee value for multiple requirements. You can use the Bulk Edit feature for that.

  1. Locate the item as described in Locate Requirements. Select the desired requirement in the Table view of the Work Items topic.

  2. Edit the requirement in the Work Item Editor, located in the bottom portion of the Table view. Some data fields can be edited in place, that is, without invoking Edit mode on the entire Work Item. To edit the entire requirement, click the Edit button in the Work Item Editor toolbar in the Table view.
