# Edit a company period

**For:** Manager | Admin
**You'll need:** An open period.

You'll change a period's name, type, or dates.

## Open the period

1. Go to **Company → Periods** in the left sidebar.
2. Click the row.

## Make your changes

1. Update the **'Name'**, **'Period type'**, **'Start date'**, or **'End date'**.
2. Click **'Save'**.

```{warning}
You can't edit a closed period. To make changes, you'd need to reopen it — talk to support before doing that, since closed periods underpin payroll and audit reports.
```

## Verify it worked

A toast confirms the save and the row in the list reflects your changes.
