If your quiz references current data or your "Additional Info" mentions upcoming events, it can quickly become out of date. I have found that updating an existing quiz rather than creating a new one is not only very satisfying, but it probably enhances the ratings your quiz will receive and it puts less load on the FunTrivia servers. I just revised my quiz "Atlantic City Casino History" to include the new Borgata casino that just opened, and not only was it very satisfying but I learned some things. A big plus is that you were around for that recent history change and research is easier because you know what is and isn't true.

Just a quick note: If you're making major updates to your quiz, sometimes it's best to take your quiz offline and resubmit it to be edited. Sometimes you miss things that an editor will pick up, or you may have a formatting problem. Usually when editors look at a queue, they look at the quizzes that have been online in the past first so it shouldn't take too long to get your quiz back online, and those few hours/day that your quiz is offline could avoid corrections on your quiz.
