Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Tony M, Kim Metzger

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I think the clause in the middle might be confusing you.

It basically says updates ... can now be made to the acquisition

i.e. you can apply updates to the acquisition, which is presumably some kind of basic input of information - so before you couldn't make any updates or apply any updates (create any updates, does that help?) whereas you can now.

For example if you have a calendar entry saying "ask kudos question" you could then make the updates "time", "duration" etc to add to the original basic item.
