Depending on the setup of the Q\&A pipeline, the question may also be edited, moved to a different category or assigned another priority during this step. The users responsible for carrying out the step (i.e. the members of the step) are defined in the [Q\&A pipeline](/qa/qa-pipeline). **Accepting and distributing a question** 1. Inside the data room, bring forward the Q\&A panel by pressing the **Q\&A** button below the folder tree. 2. Click on the **Needing my attention** selector or on a category selector. 3. Click on **Show** for the question to be accepted. 4. Switch the category (if applicable). 5. Change the priority (if applicable). 6. Assign the question to an individual user or to a user group (if applicable). * The question can only be assigned to the members of the *Answering step* (the next step in the pipeline). To edit the list of members, see the page on the [Q\&A pipeline](/qa/qa-pipeline). * Should you not select any user to assign the question to, it will be assigned to all members of the *Answering step*. 7. Click the **Accept** button if you want to accept the question and move it to the next step in the pipeline. * Should you wish to add a comment for the next user(s) in the pipeline, click the **+** button next to **Accept**. 8. Click the **Send back to Submitter** button if you would like to send the question back to the submitter, e.g. for clarification. Accept question After a question has been accepted, it can be [answered](/qa/answering-questions). This step may be automated, as described on the page for the [Q\&A pipeline](/qa/qa-pipeline).
