# Edit a QR code design

You can edit an existing QR code's design. However, be wary that editing a QR code's design is similar to creating a new one. This is not recommended for QR code that are already published and printed.

In order to edit a QR code design:

- Open the QR Codes app.
- Right-click the row of the QR code you want to change, then pick Design

![The QR code list with a row's contextual menu open, showing Edit, Design, Use this design as template, Export as and Delete](https://www.unitag.io/documentation/images/qrcodes/en/qr-codes-update-design.webp)

- Change the design as you like.
- Click on Save.

The same panel can be reached from the [QR code's own page](https://www.unitag.io/documentation/qrcodes/search-and-manage-qrcodes).
