# Update Asset

PATCH https://api.coperniq.io/v1/assets/{asset_id}
Content-Type: application/json

Update an existing asset. All fields are optional — only include what you want to change.

`siteId` and `accountId` cannot be changed after creation. Including either field in the request body is rejected with a `400 Bad Request` validation error.

To archive an asset, set `isArchived: true`. To unarchive, set `isArchived: false`.
