# Edit Trace

`PATCH /simple/traces/{trace_id}`

Update an existing "simple" trace.

Supplied fields overwrite the existing trace. Fields not present
in the request body are left unchanged. `data` is required (the
payload being recorded); `tags`, `meta`, `references`, and
`links` are optional.

This endpoint is intended for annotations and feedback entries,
where the `data.outputs` is the part that typically gets revised.
For span-level edits, use `PUT /tracing/traces/{trace_id}`.
