Yes, you can change a score you have already given, and you do it by scoring again. Open the entry, choose the same criterion, set the slider to the value you want, and select Save Score. The new value replaces the old one. There is no separate edit mode and no request to make of anybody: the last save is the score that counts.
You hold one score per criterion, and saving overwrites it
For each entry you judge, you hold exactly one score on each criterion. Saving a second time on a criterion you have already scored does not add a second score or an amendment, it writes over the first. That is true however many times you go back, right up until scoring closes.
Your remark travels with the score. Whatever is in the remarks box when you save is what is stored, so if you clear the box and save, the remark is cleared too. Remarks reach the author of the entry without your name attached.
A score is replaced, not withdrawn
Once a criterion has a score from you, it keeps one. Setting the value you now believe is right and saving is the way to correct a score you regret, including a score you entered by accident. Do not count on removing it instead: the score stays on the entry until you replace it. If you scored something in error and the value itself is the problem, save the value you actually mean.
Anything unsaved is dropped without a warning
The panel gives you no prompt about unsaved work, and there is a lot that will throw it away:
- Choosing a different criterion loads that criterion's saved score and discards whatever you had typed or dragged.
- Cancel clears the panel.
- Moving to another entry, or closing the tab, leaves nothing behind.
On a project entry nothing is stored as you drag the slider. Save each criterion before you move off it, and treat Save Score as the only thing that commits anything.
Two things that will refuse the save
- A value outside the criterion's range. Each criterion has its own minimum and maximum, and a score outside them is rejected with "Score must be between" those two numbers.
- A closed round. Once the evaluation round's end date has passed, saving returns "The evaluation round has ended. Scoring is no longer allowed." No score can be changed after that, so make your corrections before the deadline. See the jury deadline.

Journal and publication panels save as you drag
Everything above describes scoring a project entry, which is the only panel with a Save Score button. Journal and publication panels save automatically: moving the slider commits that value about half a second later, with no button to press and nothing to cancel. Do not treat those sliders as somewhere to try a value out, because every value you touch is recorded.
