Editing a mirrored model card

Common questions this page answers:

  • Can I edit a mirrored model card?
  • How do I add local information to a mirrored model?
  • Does editing a mirrored model overwrite the source data?

Mirrored models are read-only with respect to information originating from the source model. This ensures the source model remains the authoritative version.

You cannot directly edit source content in a mirrored model, however, you can add additional local information to provide context that is specific to your environment or use case.

Adding additional information

Add local context to a mirrored model without modifying the source data, using the Add additional information button.

Instead of an Edit button, mirrored models display an Add additional information button. Selecting this option allows you to add local responses alongside the source content:

The screenshot above shows the form for adding local information alongside the source model's content.

Key points:

  • Additional information does not overwrite source data
  • The input type matches the original question
    • Rich text -> rich text
    • Number -> number
    • Structured input -> structured input
  • Validation rules remain the same as the source question

How additional information is displayed

Local additions appear beneath the source content, making the origin of each piece of information clear.

Additional information can be updated at any time and will persist across future synchronisations when the source model is re-exported.
