# Update a reply

`PATCH https://api.cademi.com.br/api/v3/products/{product_id}/questions/{question_id}/replies/{reply_id}`

Operation ID: `questions.replies.update` · API v3

Updates a published support reply or the question's draft reply (ID `qrp_draft_<question_id>`).

For a published reply, `body` corrects the content without notifying the user again, and `visibility` switches the reply between `public` and `private`. Only support replies can be updated; replies written by users are rejected with `403 Forbidden`.

For the draft, `body` replaces the draft content. Setting `status` to `published` publishes the draft (using the supplied `body`, if any) as a public reply, with the same effects as publishing through the create operation.

When updating a published reply, send the `ETag` returned by the retrieve operation in the `If-Match` header to avoid overwriting a newer version.

Required permissions: `questions.update`.
