How does the system work now for editing existing objects? #335

Who can edit - anyone or just admins? Do those edits propagate through any assessment where it is being used? I can check the documentation and do some tests, I just wanted to record this question.

Looks like respondents and admins can edit objects in the library. Any change to an object applies to every assessment using that object. In other words, we do not take a point-in-time snapshot of an object when it's added to an assessment, we only reference the one source of truth object. Perhaps we want to move towards a design where the "object library" is more of a "template library" that provides the ability to copy an object template into an assessment, then edit that without impacting other assessments?
