If a question or section is already added and you want to adjust the additional properties, here is how to get to the setting.  **To get to the additional properties:** **Option 1: If the question appears in their profile** Within a profile of a candidate or client, depending on the question, you need to adjust. click the gear icon of the section that has the question you want to adjust. ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_012725_071321_AM-jpg.jpeg?width=1422&height=367&name=Screenshot_012725_071321_AM-jpg.jpeg) **Option 2: If a question or section is on the application** 1\. Go to the application, remain logged in as an admin and edit application from settings at the top of the form ![](https://learn.enginehire.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_012725_071542_AM-jpg.jpeg?width=1289&height=326&name=Screenshot_012725_071542_AM-jpg.jpeg) 2\.

Show Condition:** This allows you go have the question appear based off one question the candidate or client has answered. [Here is an article reviewing in more detail.](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/how-to-set-up-a-show-conditions-option-in-a-question?hsLang=en) **2. Advance Show Condition:** This is similar to show condition but adds an extra layer, where you can select if the response is empty, not empty, the answer is a certain response or not a certain response.  **3. Secondary Show Condition:** This allows you to add an extra layer from show condition. Where they have to meet the first show condition and the secondary show condition. Example, if the show condition is saying yes to being able to travel, the secondary show condition is they selected Yes to being able to drive, they would have to meet both of those requirements to have that question appear. **4. Third Show Condition** This is the same as the secondary show condition as mention above, but adding a third layer. **5. Combine Show Condition** This allows you to add condition groups to select multiple questions at once if they meet each one or you can select OR to have them select either response. [Here is an article going combined show conditions more in detail.](https://learn.enginehire.io/en/knowledge/combined-show-condition?hsLang=en) **6. Is Admin Only** If you select this the question will be admin only and not visible to the candidate or client, and also not visible if you share their profile. **7. Is Private** This is related to when you share their profile. You can select Is Private and it won't appear when you share their profile.
