Steps
Collecting changes

Anyone, even an external stakeholder, can suggest changes to be added to the backlog.
Bugs and enhancement requests coming from partial product tests done at the end of previous sprint are also used to update the backlog.

These items are analyzed by the product owner prior to next sprint planning.

Reprioritizing items
Added items since previous sprint are prioritized in the backlog by the Product Owner prior to next sprint planning.
Reestimating items

Point-based estimation of new items added to the backlog is done by the team, ideally during a brainstorming with the Product Owner, one or two days prior to Sprint review.

Existing items can also be reestimated.
