A preference is a data collection point regarding an end-user's intentions, decisions, motivations, and interests (e.g. their preferred method of contact). In this article, we will cover how to edit an existing preference in your preference library and how those edits are deployed to preferences widgets that may be utilizing those preferences.

Click Preference Management on the left-hand panel.

Select the Configuration Tree tab on the subsequent page and navigate to the Preferences Library panel.

Navigate to a preference in your preferences library and select the ellipsis icon inline with the preference name. Click Edit from the menu.

Note: If the preference is mapped to a purpose in your configuration tree, a modal will warn you of the impact editing the preference will have on your configurations. Click Edit preference to continue.
