# Update Termbase

`PUT /termbases/{termbaseId}`

Updates the termbase.
The termbase can be updated with a termbase template by providing the termbaseTemplateId or by providing a custom termbaseStructure. 

If only a `termbaseTemplateId ` was provided, the termbase will be updated using data from the template. 
If only a `termbaseStructure` was provided, the termbase will be updated using data from the structure. 
If both, `termbaseTemplateId` and `termbaseStructure` are added in the request, the `termbaseStructure` takes precedence.
