Title and abstract screening instruction modification

During the ongoing Title and abstract screening process, you can modify the screening instructions in the following ways:

add new tag
modify the field instructions associated with each Include and Exclude buttons
add or remove highlights
change the names of buttons and tags

Warning:  Please be aware that modifying button or tag names during an ongoing screening process can potentially lead to inaccurate results. Specifically, if you rename a button while the screening is in progress, any records previously excluded/included using the old button name will automatically update to reflect the new button name. Any modifications to button or tag names should be carefully considered.
