# Editing an asset

Editing an asset allows the asset's owner to:

* change the asset's attributes
* change the state of an asset (enabled/disabled)
* add, delete, or change the asset's services 
* change the status of a service (enabled/disabled)

<mark style="background-color:$info;">**Note**</mark><mark style="background-color:$info;">: Once created, an asset cannot be deleted; it can only be deactivated, meaning none of its services can be consumed. Similarly, a service created within an asset cannot be deleted; it can only be deactivated, which means it cannot be consumed. However, other enabled services within the same asset can be consumed.</mark>&#x20;

## Precondition

The user has logged in to the marketplace.

## Steps

1\. Select the asset. If the user is the asset owner, the "Edit Asset" option appears under the services list.
