# Update an article

`PUT /helpcenter/collections/{helpcenterCollectionId}/articles/{helpcenterArticleId}`

Update a help center article

## Path parameters

- `helpcenterArticleId` string, required

## Request body

- HelpcenterArticleDto
  - `title` unknown
  - `description` unknown
  - `content` unknown
  - `plainContent` unknown
  - `helpcenterCollection` string
  - `author` string
  - `project` string
  - `isDraft` boolean
  - `docId` number, double
  - `expectedVersion` number, double — Optimistic-concurrency token. When provided, the update is applied only if the article's current `version` still equals this value; otherwise the server rejects the write with 409 (and preserves the rejected content as a 'conflict' version). When omitted, the save falls back to last-write-wins (keeps the existing editor working until it is updated to send the token).
  - `lexorank` string
  - `upvotes` unknown
  - `targetAudience` string
  - `externalId` string
  - `baseAudienceFilter` unknown
  - `extendedAudienceFilter` unknown
  - `tags` string[]
  - `newCollectionId` string — Deprecated here. Only read by PUT .../articles/{id}/move (which has its own body); ignored on create/update.
