Only checklist template in status N**ew **or **Waiting on Approval **can be edited.  For checklist templates that are **Active ** or **Archived**, a new version has to be created first

**Adaptation can include:**

- adding or removing checklist items
- modifying validation rules
- introducing dynamic conditions
- adjusting work instructions
- integrating images or external references

Templates can also incorporate conditional logic to ensure that the checklist adapts dynamically during execution.

**For example:**

- certain questions appear only for specific materials
- additional checks are shown when a measurement falls outside limits
- different instructions appear depending on equipment configuration

This flexibility allows a single template to support multiple production scenarios.
