# Edit & delete tools

## Editing

On the detail page of a tool you will find the **Edit** button
(only for the person who created the tool, as well as for admins).

The edit page (`/tools/:id/edit`) contains the same fields as when
creating (name, category, website/icon URL, description, features, tags) —
already filled with the current values.

- **Save** applies the changes.
- **Cancel** takes you back to the detail page.

API reference: [`PATCH /tools/{id}`](/docs/reference/endpoints/tools#updateTool).

## Deleting

Via **Delete** on the detail page the tool is removed. The behavior
depends on your plan:

- **With trash access** (Premium/Enterprise or Admin): the tool is
  **soft deleted** — it disappears from all public views, but can
  be restored or permanently deleted in the [trash](/docs/handbook/papierkorb).
- **Without trash access:** the tool is **permanently** deleted and cannot
  be restored.

Deletion is only possible for the person who created the tool, as well as
for admins.

API reference: [`DELETE /tools/{id}`](/docs/reference/endpoints/tools#deleteTool).
