We have a use case in which we need to allow a supervisor to edit, comment on and finalise forms already submitted to ODK Collect. We are looking for a web app that the supervisor can use to manage these. Are there any tools that exist to do this at present or are there tools that would help us to start developing something?
Secondly, is it currently possible to edit forms with the current API? Are there any challenges that would make this difficult?
Aggregate wasn't designed to support live editing of data. The idea
was always that it'd be a record of store and send data on to other
systems. That said, I know of a proprietary system that does edits on
the Aggregate database and so it's very possible.
What is common practice is that folks use the options outlined at https://opendatakit.org/use/aggregate/data-transfer to get data out of
Aggregate and then you can build whatever you need around that data.
Another option is to try some of the other ODK-compatible servers
(e.g., Ona.io, ELMO) and build around those.
Either way, this functionality is needed and it'd be awesome if we
could find some way to work together to build something that is useful
to the community.

Enketo has the ability to edit already-submitted data via this
API: http://apidocs.enketo.org/v2/#/post-instance. It uses a instanceID ->
deprecatedID swap that allows a server to keep track of edits to a record
(or discard older versions).
This feature is built-in to Ona and KoboToolbox (and formhub). It's maybe a
step in the direction of what you are looking for.
Cheers,
Martijn
