# 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 %}
