Reviewers will be able to start extracting their first study when you Publish your template for the first time. To start extraction, you must publish a data extraction template, however quality assessment is optional. You’ll need to press Save as draft to retain any changes you’ve made to your template. When you first open your template, your template will be in Draft mode. The text will appear in the extraction form under the item’s label. To add instructions, select the item, and then add the text in Item settings.

For example, for a single choice item, you might want to communicate to your extractors that they should only select an option if specific criteria are met. Text fields and single choice items allow you to communicate item specific instructions to your extractors. You can give your extractors the ability to add their own option by selecting the Other checkbox in Item settings.
