# How to Edit a Broadcast Draft?

When you need to change parameters of a saved draft before activation, editing allows updating all settings. This instruction will help change broadcast draft parameters.

## When Needed

- You need to change the draft's start date.

- Editing does not affect already launched broadcasts.
- After editing, the draft can be activated for launch.

## Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In the `Broadcast` module, go to the **"Broadcasts"** section — a table with all broadcasts opens.
2. Find the needed draft in the list and click the edit icon (pencil) in the row of this broadcast — the "Broadcast Parameters" modal window appears with filled data.
3. Change needed fields:
   - **"Broadcast Name"** — if you need to update the name.
   - **"Template"** — if you need to select another template.
   - **"Topic"** — if you need to change the broadcast topic.
   - **"Start Date"** — if you need to update the launch time.
4. If you need to activate the broadcast after editing, enable the **"Broadcast Active"** checkbox.
5. Click the **"Save"** button — the modal window closes, changes are reflected in the list.

## What Happens After

Updated draft parameters are saved. If you activated the broadcast, it will launch on the set schedule.

## How to Verify It Worked

- Check that changes are reflected in the broadcast list.
- Make sure all updated parameters display correctly.
- If you activated the broadcast, check that the status indicator shows active state.
