# How to re-invite a candidate to an exam
There are times when a candidate needs another opportunity to take an assessment, whether their previous invitation expired, they didn't show up, or they need a fresh attempt after completing or being suspended. Talview's Coordinator Console lets you re-invite any candidate regardless of their current enrollment status, without modifying or losing any data from their previous attempts.
In this article, you will learn how to send a fresh invitation to a candidate who already has an existing enrollment.
**Before You Begin**
Make sure you have:
* Coordinator role access on your Talview account.
* An active exam with at least one candidate already invited or enrolled at a workflow step.
***
### Step-by-Step Guide
**1. Open the exam and navigate to the assessment step**
From the **Exams** list, click on the exam containing the candidate you want to re-invite. Navigate to the workflow step tab where the candidate's existing enrollment is listed.
**2. Click Invite**
Click the **Invite** button on the top-right of the candidate list - the same button you use for sending original invitations.
**3. Enter the candidate's details**
In the invite side panel, add the candidate's details as you would for a new invitation. Enter their **Email Address** (required) along with any other details like name or phone number.
If the candidate is currently in an **Invited** status (meaning they already have an active, unused invitation), the system may show a non-blocking informational notice letting you know an active invitation already exists. You can proceed regardless, this notice is informational only and does not prevent the re-invite.
**4. Optionally set a new deadline**
If the exam has a **Last Date to Attend** field, you can set a new deadline for this re-invite. This deadline applies only to the new enrollment and does not affect the deadline on any previous enrollment.
**5. Click Invite to send the fresh invitation**
Click **Invite** to complete the re-invitation. The candidate receives a fresh invitation email with a new access link tied to the new enrollment.
***
**Additional Tips**
* Re-inviting does not reset, cancel, or modify the candidate's existing enrollment. Think of it as creating a completely fresh start for the candidate while preserving the full history of their previous attempts.
* If you need to track how many times a candidate has been invited, look at the multiple enrollment rows in the candidate list, each one represents a separate invitation.
* The re-invite flow uses the same **Invite** button and side panel as the original invite. There is no separate "re-invite" action the system automatically handles the creation of a new enrollment when it detects the candidate already exists at that step.
* You can set a different deadline for each re-invite, giving you flexibility to adjust the access window based on the situation.
