# Update training content (bulk patch)

`PATCH /learning/lms-integrations/{provider-identifier}/training-content`

Updates one or more existing training content items. Only the fields you include in the request are changed — fields you omit remain as they are. Use `/trainingContent/externalIdentifier` in each item to identify which content row to update.

Returns `200 OK` with a `success` array of updated identifiers and an `errors` array for any items that could not be found.

**Before using this endpoint:**
<ul>
  <li>Training content items must already exist — create them first using <a href="/reference/post_learning-lms-integrations-provider-identifier-training-content" target="_blank">Create training content</a>.</li>
  <li>Include `/trainingContent/externalIdentifier` in each item to identify the content row to update.</li>
  <li>Only the fields you provide will be updated (patch semantics). Omitted fields are left unchanged.</li>
</ul>

**Testing notes:** Open the **Examples** panel and select a **Request Example** to inspect the body parameters.
