# Edit a custom framework (governed frameworks are immutable -> 403).

## Request body

- object
  - `description` string, required — You set the updated framework summary.

## Response `200`

The custom trust framework was updated.

  - `id` string, uuid — You receive the stable UUID for this trust framework.
  - `slug` string — You receive the URL-safe identifier for this framework.
  - `name` string — You receive the display name for the framework.
  - `region` string — You receive the region or jurisdiction for the framework.
  - `profile` string — You receive the interoperability profile for the framework.
  - `formats` string[] — You receive credential format identifiers such as `sd_jwt_vc` for SD-JWT VC (Selective-Disclosure JWT Verifiable Credential).
  - `description` string — You receive the framework summary shown to API consumers.
  - `custom` boolean — You receive `true` when the framework is tenant-owned.
  - `editable` boolean — You receive `true` when you can update or delete the framework.
  - `governed` boolean — You receive `true` when a governance authority manages the framework.

## Other responses
