If I'm not mistaken, it is currently not possible to edit our answers to Q&A questions beyond the initial five or so minute window when we first make them. Many times I later look over my answers and either catch a minor error or have something else to add. I suppose one solution would be to add the question again manually, enter the new answer, and delete the old question, but this seems unnecessarily complicated.
I understand why editing comments has a limited window opportunity due to their back-and-forth nature, but Q&A's don't really have that potential pratfall.
Yes, you can edit any question at any time. Just click on the filter to show 'answered'. Find the question. Edit it.
And yes, they are assessed, but will appear on the hub straight away. You might not see them on your Q&A list for days.
There is a way to do it but it is a pain. Go to the filters and click show answered. Copy the answer (unless you have it saved elsewhere). Click add question and retype the question then paste the answer and edit it before submitting. It would be much easier if there was just an edit function and it would be useful if we want to change it or add to it at any point. I assume the date on the question, which would change if it were updated will effect it's ranking as it does with our articles.
Does the Q&A's go through a quality assessment review before it is posted?
I have a button to edit both the questions and the answers. Are you saying that you are not have this edit button?
If you are not, I suggest you contact HP and ask that this be cleared up so that you can edit questions and answers.

Many of you have pointed out that it would be nice to edit Questions right after they have been posted (it's always embarrassing to find typos AFTER one hits submit), so the ever-fabulous Ari Lamstein made it possible for you to edit your Questions- so long as no Answers have been submitted.Thanks...

I really like the new Q&A feature on individual hubs. What I'd like to know is if there's a way to delete a question if it's inappropriate?For example, I have one now. Let's say the hub is about apple pies, their origin and history, and the question is 'What is apple?' That's just a made up...

Do you ask questions on Hub Pages because you're looking for answers, conducting a survey or......?You're asking for other reasons?

How would you format a list of questions and answers in a hub?I started out with two separate bulleted lists in two different text modules, the first list containing the questions, the second containing the answers. After a while, the lists got long and I decided I needed to keep each answer with...

Your answer is too short. Please make it longerWhy are we not allowed to give short answers/replies to questions asked.Sometimes less is more.Sometimes saying something precise and to the point says it all.So why can't our answers be allowed to be short as well as long?
