# 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.
