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

  <Step>
    The **Edit** form will open on the right side of the screen.
  </Step>

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