# Editing Account information

> Edit an existing Account in the Console to update its name, metadata, or other details. External Accounts created with an Asset cannot be changed.

To edit an Account, follow these steps:

<Steps>
  <Step>
    On the **Accounts** page, find the Account that you want to edit. In the **Actions** column, click the three dots (<Icon icon="ellipsis-vertical" />) and select **Details**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    The Console navigates to the account details page. Click the **Edit** button.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    The edit sheet opens with two tabs: **Account Details** and **Metadata**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Edit the information as needed and click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  You **cannot** edit External Accounts. Midaz creates one automatically for each Asset.
