What happens when the email activity component of an active workflow is edited?

If the email activity component is edited, then only new contacts will enter the component when they satisfy the set criteria.
User Scenario
You have an active workflow for a list of contacts who've performed some actions on an email campaign sent to them. You set up the workflow using a predefined list and configuring the email activity component for the delivered and opened actions. All contacts who've received an email will be added to a list and contacts who've opened the email will be assigned with a new tag.

You want to change the tag to be assigned to contacts who've opened the email. So you edit the workflow and delete the previous tag. Now you add a new tag to be assigned to the contacts and reactivate the workflow. Here, only new contacts will be assigned with the new contacts and the old contacts assigned to the previous tag will not re-enter the workflow because an action has already been performed on them.
