# 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) **Note**: 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. ## 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.

2\. Click "**Edit Asset**". The Edit screen is displayed with two options to select from: * [*Edit Asset*](https://docs.oceanenterprise.io/user-guides/using-the-oe-marketplace/editing-an-asset/update-the-assets-attributes-and-state) (preselected), to update the asset's attributes and state * [*Edit Services*](https://docs.oceanenterprise.io/user-guides/using-the-oe-marketplace/editing-an-asset/update-the-assets-services) to update the attributes or the state of an existing service, or to add a new service to the asset
