# Edit poll

There are limited options for editing a poll after it has been posted.\
You cannot change the poll question or the answer options once it’s published. To make such changes, you’ll need to [delete the poll](/using-hippoly/polls/delete-poll.md) and create a new one.

However, you can still edit the post where the poll is attached, and you can also conclude the poll early - before the original set duration has ended.

To make any of these changes, follow these steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Go to your post and click the `Menu-icon` at the top right corner of the post. 
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the `Edit`  menu option.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Now you can make changes to the post text or close the poll early by clicking the `Conclude poll` button.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Finally, click the `Update` button to save and publish your changes.&#x20;
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.hippoly.com/using-hippoly/polls/edit-poll.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
