# Update Candidate review

***This page explains how to update candidate review sessions.***

### Updating an active session

Once a candidate review schedule is activated, update options are limited.

You can still add or remove candidates from the review session, but changing [the session options](/v1/docs/options-candidate-review) is no longer possible.

### If no candidates have started yet

If no candidates have used or started their review session, you can **Deactivate** the schedule and update any settings.

Once fully deactivated, adjust the options by clicking the three-dot menu (top right) and selecting **Settings**.

              Remember to re-activate

              

Re-activate the schedule after updating your options.

### Once candidates have started

If one or more candidates have started their review, the session can no longer be deactivated.

In this case, archive the candidate review session and create a new one for candidates who have not yet started.
