# complianceLibrary.entries.update

Platform administrators only: edit a compliance library entry's title, topic, summary, keyPoints, meaning or markdown notes at its current revision, archive or restore it (archived), or mark it looked at (resolved). Editing protects the entry from agent overwrites.
