   • If the domain, entity filter and time range used when creating the study (see Selecting-data-for-a-virtualization-study) are different than what is currently active, you will be prompted with the following "Attempt to load data used when study was created?" 
     • If you want to only change parameters values like threshold, new hardware configurations, affinity and assignments, click Cancel to work with the data of the saved study without reloading (this is the faster option).

     • If you want to add more candidates and targets to the study, click OKto attempt to reload the data used when the study was created.

       • Reloading the data may take a long time
       • If the data used to originally create the study is not available, an error message may be displayed and you should follow steps 1 and 2 again, but click  Cancel at the prompt

       Note: if the data used to originally create the study is active, you can change more options of the study (like adding candidates and other targets) when editing

     • Targets - For studies that have been saved but not consolidated
     • Consolidation Results - For completed studies saved on the Results page
3. After modifying or viewing the saved study, you may again click Save Study to save changes you have made, either to the same or different name.
