Edit a saved trigger in Workflow Studio to update the trigger definitions or other options according to your business needs.

## Before you begin

Role required: trigger_designer, flow_designer, or admin

## About this task

You can edit a saved trigger to update any of the conditions in the trigger definition. Before you publish the changes, review the flows that are using the trigger. If necessary,
you can detach the trigger from any of the flows so that the updated conditions don't affect the flow.

You can't modify the trigger type and the table.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllProcess AutomationWorkflow Studio.
2. Select Triggers.
3. Select the trigger that you want to edit.  
   Workflow Studio opens the trigger definition in read-only mode.
4. Select Edit trigger.
5. Update any of the trigger conditions or the advanced options.  
   Note:  
   If a user has modified the advanced options while using the trigger, any modifications that you make to these options doesn't affect the user's modified settings. To view the field descriptions for the trigger forms, see [Create a saved record-based trigger](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/WYpCvWi0QEggwkYhyL4iJg "Create a reusable trigger definition that responds to a record-based event. When a record is created or updated in a specific table, the trigger activates and starts the flows where it is used. You can allow flow authors to select the saved trigger, view its conditions, or add their own conditions.").
6. Select Publish.
7. From the list of flows that are using the trigger, select each flow and evaluate if the updated trigger definitions are valid for the flow.
8. If the updated trigger definitions aren't valid for a flow, detach the trigger from the flow.  
   For instructions on how to detach a trigger, see [Detach a saved trigger from a flow](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/4OhFNV8Uj2vda6oJ9to5nw "View a list of flows that are associated with a saved trigger, and detach it from any of the flows. Detach a saved trigger before you specify different start conditions for your flow or before you delete the trigger.").
9. Update the trigger properties, such as the trigger name, by selecting the More Actions menu icon (![Option to select more actions menu.]()) and then selecting Properties.
10. On the Trigger properties pop-up window, update the properties as needed and select Update.
11. Make the updated trigger available by selecting Publish.
