# Editing a provider

> Edit a provider in the Flowker Console to update its name, description, or connection parameters, and see how the changes apply to running workflows.

You can update an existing provider configuration to change its connection parameters, credentials, or name.

To edit a provider:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    On the **Providers** page, find the provider you want to edit.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click the three dots (<Icon icon="ellipsis-vertical" />) on the **Actions** column and select **Details**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    The provider panel will open with the current configuration. Update the fields as needed:

    * **Name**: the identifier for the provider.
    * **Description** (optional): a description about the provider and what it does.
    * **Provider-specific fields**: the connection parameters for the provider type (e.g., API URL, credentials).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Click **Save** to apply your changes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Updating a provider configuration affects all workflows that reference it. Each executor call node reads the configuration when it executes. So runs already in progress pick up the new settings for nodes that haven't executed yet.
</Note>

<Note>
  You select the provider type at creation. You cannot change it when you edit the provider. To switch to a different provider, create a new configuration.
