# Edit

To edit an existing library you need to execute a **PATCH** request against the **/libraries/:id** endpoint.

The **id** uniquely identifies the library and you can find it in the [create library](/reference/rest-api/content-library/create.md#response-200-ok) response.

You can update the **name** and **external\_id** of the existing library.

#### Request
