Updated/Edited survey responses and continuation tokens

So I have a script that gets survey responses using continuation tokens, and it works great. But I'm now trying to figure out how to deal with a requirement that survey admins be able to change responses for some respondents.
Has anyone dealt with this? How to I get my API calls to pick up a changed response, other than just downloading the whole response set again? Or is that the only way to accomplish it? Is there a way to modify an existing response so that the API/Continuation token picks up the change?

I've answered this myself. From Data & Analysis, Actions>Retake Response>(fill out survey) generates a new Response ID that will be picked up by the "get response" process with continuation tokens.
One thing to get around is dealing with the old, outdated response in whatever database you're saving your responses to. In my case, I just built a view that shows the most recent responses from a user for a given survey.
