If you mean that you want to change things like the description of the evidence, it is not possible. You can get kinda close if you hide one evidence and then reveal another directly afterward, but it's not good enough in my opinion.

You need to hide one piece of evidence. Then, reveal another piece of evidence that has updated new information.

You're correct. There should be an easier way. Why don't you make a suggestion in the Comments/Ideas forum. :)

No, it was suggested. It was denied because you probably want the updated evidence to respond differently, and in that case you may as well make a new piece.

Exactly, that is still what I think about it :wink:

I don't say that you shouldn't use a new evidence slot, just that there should be an action for performing the switch. It should take care of hiding/revealing the evidence, but also to move the selection to the new evidence if it was already selected.
