Edit a Taxonomy
Once created, you can edit a taxonomy to make changes such as update its name or description.
To edit a taxonomy, log in to your Contentstack account, and perform the following steps:
- Go to your stack where you want to edit a taxonomy, navigate to the “Settings” icon (press “S”), and select Taxonomy.
- Select the taxonomy you want to edit and click the vertical ellipsis in the Actions column.
- Click the Edit button.

In the Edit Taxonomy modal, you can edit the Taxonomy Name or Description but not the Taxonomy UID. Once done, click Update to save your changes.
