FAQs
Can I change my data source after I've already started my project?
Yes! With Labfront's Live Edit feature, you can edit your data source and metrics even after you've already started collecting data. Learn more about editing your project in this article.
We strongly recommend notifying participants of changes as they may need to sync their device again.
Where can I find more information on using the Labfront Companion app?
We have resources on using the participant app in our Help Center.
