# Editing a Points Program

> Change the rate, rewards, color, or rules of a points program after it goes live.

You can change a points program at any time, even after members have joined it. Go to **Points** in the left sidebar, find the program, and open its editor.

## Open the editor

Open the **⋯** menu on the program card and choose **Edit**. Clicking the card preview opens the same editor.

</Frame>

The same **⋯** menu also has **Duplicate**, a status switch (**Publish**, **Deactivate**, or **Activate**), and **Delete**. Use **Deactivate** when you only want to take a program offline for a while and keep its settings.

## What you can change

The editor opens with every setting filled in from the current program. The page is titled **Edit Points Program**, and on a wide screen a live preview of the member card sits beside the form and updates as you type.

</Frame>

You can change any field:

* **Program Name**, **Points per** currency, **Currency**, and **Description**
* **Card Color** under Appearance
* **Rewards** members can redeem
* **Locations** where the program is valid
* **Points Expiry**, **Availability Period**, and the **Max points per visit** limit
* **Terms & Conditions** and **FAQs**

<Note>
  Changing the **Points per** rate only affects points earned from that moment on. Points members have already earned stay as they are.
</Note>

## Editing rewards

The Rewards card lists every reward on the program. Click a reward to edit its name, points needed, image, or staff note, or use the **×** to remove it. **Add reward** adds a new one. This is the same reward editor you used when creating the program.

</Frame>

<Warning>
  When you save, Qtap replaces the program's whole reward list with the rewards shown in the editor. A reward you removed is gone, so make sure the list reads exactly the way you want before you save.
</Warning>

## Saving your changes

At the bottom of the form, choose how to save.

</Frame>

* **Save & Activate** saves your changes and keeps the program live for members. If the program was a draft, this publishes it.
* **Save as Draft** saves your changes but takes the program offline. Members can no longer find or join it until you publish it again.
* **Cancel** discards your changes and returns to the Points page.

<Warning>
  **Save as Draft** unpublishes a live program. If you only meant to adjust a setting on a program that should stay active, use **Save & Activate**.
</Warning>

Owners and managers can edit points programs. Staff do not have access to the Points page by default.
