* Go to the **Settings** tab.

* Make the necessary updates to the name of the account, transaction rules, amount ranges and whitelists.
* Click **Next**.

#### Step 2. Confirm the account's changes on your device

* Tap **Next** to review all rules.
* Tap **Confirm** to confirm the edit.

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll be prevented from editing an account if:

* A transaction request is pending to be approved in the account.
* An Operator used in the account is pending to be revoked.
* A group linked to the account is pending to be edited or deleted.
* A whitelist linked to the account is pending to be edited.
  {% endhint %}

## Results

An *Edit account* request is submitted to all Administrators.

This request will fail if any Operator in the approval workflow is revoked before the request is approved.

## What's next?

Your changes will be implemented once the request is approved by the number of Administrators defined in the admin rule. For more information, Track the status of a request.
