# Update path descriptions for web application

`POST /system/pathdesc`

Refreshes path descriptions. The web application stores descriptions in a file under the data root so it is not
necessary to load path descriptions manually after each web application redeploy. Paths are relative to source
root, starting with `/`.

## Request body

- PathDescription[]
  - `path` string, required
  - `description` string, required

## Response `204`

Path descriptions updated.
