English term or phrase: to be made to...
Updates, such as event scoring, staging, etc., can now be made to the acquisition; however, auto-scoring remains off.

Thanks for English synonym that will help me understand this phrase!

Explanation:
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.
