# About the Critical All Forms Effective SV state

When you set the Critical All Forms override, you are applying the same override to all forms on which the item exists. All instances of the item must be verified, not just the items on the form on which you set the override.

When you change the override from Critical All Forms to something else, the new state is applied to the current form and all other item instances are set to No Override.

For example:

Assume there is an item (Item1) on two forms (Form A and Form B) and the item is not marked as critical in the study design.

- If you set Item1 to Critical All Forms, the item will be considered critical for both Form A and Form B.
- If you change the setting on Item1 from Critical All Forms to Critical This Form:
  - Item1 on Form A will be considered critical.
  - Item1 on Form B becomes not critical because the initial study setting for the item was not critical.
