# Update Asset

PATCH https://api.sync.so/v2/assets/{id}
Content-Type: application/json

Update an asset's name or visibility. With API-key auth the asset must be owned by the key owner; organization-shared assets can only be updated from an admin/owner session. An asset you can view but not edit returns a 403 with errorCode asset_forbidden; an unknown id returns a 404 with errorCode asset_not_found.
