You can modify tasks that are already created over the course of the project.

You can modify tasks only if test cases where these tasks are used are not shared for automation. The lock icon next the task name indicates that this task is shared for automation hence cannot be edited from Qualitia Design Studio. However, you can request access from Automation Studio to modify the task, if required.

A task can be accessed by any one user at a time. In case the task is being modified by some user and other user tries to update it, Qualitia displays a message regarding the task lock. The lock is released after the first user saves the task and navigates to some other test case.

You cannot modify TC steps and conditional steps from the test cases received from the automation studio for design updates.
