# Updates the Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure for an account.

`PUT /v2.1/accounts/{accountId}/consumer_disclosure/{langCode}`

Account administrators can use this method to perform the following tasks:

- Customize values in the default disclosure.
- Switch to a custom disclosure that uses your own text and HTML formatting.
- Change values in your existing consumer disclosure. 

To specify the signer language version of the disclosure that you are updating, use the optional `langCode` query parameter.

**Note:** Only account administrators can use this method. Each time you change the disclosure content, all unsigned recipients of outstanding documents will be required to accept a new version. 

## Updating the default disclosure

When you update the default disclosure, you can edit all properties except for the following ones:

- `accountEsignId`: This property is read-only.
- `custom`: The default value is **false.** Editing this property causes the default disclosure to switch to a custom disclosure.
- `esignAgreement`: This property is read-only.
- `esignText`: You cannot edit this property when `custom` is set to **false.** The API returns a 200 OK HTTP response, but does not update the `esignText`.
- Metadata properties: These properties are read-only.

**Note:** The text of the default disclosure is always in English.

## Switching to a custom disclosure

To switch to a custom disclosure, set the `custom` property to **true** and customize the value for the `eSignText` property. 

You can also edit all of the other properties except for the following ones:

- `accountEsignId`: This property is read-only.
- `esignAgreement`: This property is read-only.
- Metadata properties: These properties are read-only.

**Note:** When you use a custom disclosure, you can create versions of it in different signer languages and se the `langCode` parameter to specify the signer language version that you are updating.

**Important:**  When you switch from a default to a custom disclosure, note the following information:

- You will not be able to return to using the default disclosure.
- Only the disclosure for the currently selected signer language is saved. Docusign will not automatically translate your custom disclosure. You must create a disclosure for each language that your signers use.
