Save and Cancel

2 min read
Last updated: November 03, 2025

The Save & Cancel functionality allows users to finalize or discard changes made to their profile with clarity and control. This section outlines what happens when you interact with either action and ensures you do not unintentionally lose or overwrite your data.

Save Changes

Selecting “Save Changes” will:

  • Store all updated profile fields to your secure DecenTrialz account
  • Update the information used for trial matching, including your health profile and location
  • Record the latest timestamp of the update in your account history
  • Immediately reflect changes in the participant dashboard, including the trial search filters and results based on your new profile inputs

Before saving, we recommend reviewing each section of the form (Basic Information, Location, Health Profile, etc.) to confirm accuracy.

Once saved

  • Your data is securely stored and encrypted in accordance with HIPAA and applicable data protection regulations
  • Trial matches may refresh if relevant eligibility criteria have changed

Note: Changes are only applied after successful saving. A confirmation message will appear once updates are complete.

Cancel & Discard

Selecting “Cancel” or navigating away from the profile without saving will:

  • Discard all unsaved changes made during that session
  • Revert the profile to its previously saved state
  • Trigger a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental data loss

Important: If you accidentally close the window or experience an interruption (e.g., session timeout), unsaved data may be lost. It is recommended to save periodically if making multiple edits.

Security Measures

For your protection:

  • All profile modifications are logged in your account activity history
  • Edits to sensitive fields (such as contact or health information) may trigger email confirmations or platform alerts
  • Only authenticated users with an active session can make and save profile changes
