# Editing parameters

Edit application parameters for individual devices in VHQ with template assignment, parameter sync status, and restore options from the Device Search screen.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Use this when** you need to edit a device's parameters from the Device Search screen, or check their sync status.
{% endhint %}

## Edit parameters from Device Search

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Select the device

On *Device Search*, select the single checkbox for the device.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open Edit Parameter

Click **Parameters** > **Edit Parameter** in the *Action* window. Applications listed for this device may also belong to other devices — editing parameters here doesn't affect the same application's parameters on other devices.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Edit, activate, or restore

On the *Edit Parameters for Application* screen, you can:

* Edit template assignment
* Edit parameters for applications
* Activate
* Restore all to template
* Restore parameters to default value
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

To configure parameters, ensure the application's PFX is configured. All parameters defined in the PFX appear in the list, shown with their PDX default values unless a value has been set. To exclude specific parameters from editing, remove them from the PFX — they'll keep their default values.

## Parameter sync status

*Parameters Sync Status* indicates whether the parameters configured on VHQ match those on the device:

* **Not in Sync**: Changes made on VHQ haven't yet downloaded to the device.
* **In Sync**: All changes have downloaded to the device.

Click the **Status** icon for detailed status.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/support-us/verifone-hq/vhq-parameter-management/configuring-parameter-templates/configuring-parameter-for-multiple-devices/editing-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
