# Edit a location

Update an existing location record used in chain of custody workflows.

Update an existing location record.

### Before you start

Confirm that:

* you selected the correct location to update
* you know which values need to change
* the location should stay in the system after the edit

Review the current record before editing. Create a new record when the change represents a different physical location.

{% step %}

### 1. Open Locations

Go to **Device Management** → **Locations**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2. Open the edit form

Select the edit icon for the location you want to update.

Update the required location values. Compare each changed value with the approved location information.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 4. Save the record

Select **Submit**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Verify the result

After you save the record, confirm that:

* the location list shows the updated values
* the record is still available for chain of custody workflows
* the update reflects the intended location change
* active custody records still resolve to the intended location

### Result

The location details are updated.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.verifone.com/verifone-central-getting-started/verifone-central/verifone-central-device-manager/asset-tracking/configure-locations/edit-a-location.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
