# Editing a feature

> Update a feature's title, description, status, and expected delivery from the board or detail page.

As the project owner, you can edit any feature request at any time. Visitors cannot edit features — they can only suggest new ones, vote, and comment.

## Where to edit

| Surface             | How to open                                           |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Features board      | Click the pencil icon on a card (`Edit feature card`) |
| Feature detail page | Click the pencil icon in the card header              |

Both open the **Edit Feature Request** dialog.

## Editable fields

| Field                 | Details                                                         |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Title**             | 12–80 characters                                                |
| **Description**       | Can be cleared on edit; if non-empty, must be 40–480 characters |
| **Status**            | Pending, Voting, Planned, In Dev, or Shipped                    |
| **Expected delivery** | Available when status is Planned or In Dev                      |

Placeholders match the create dialog: `"Enter feature title (12–80 characters)"` and `"Describe the feature... (40–480 characters)"`.

## Save changes

Click **Update** to save. The button is disabled until something has changed. While saving, it shows **Updating…**.

If you try to save with no changes, Bettter shows **No changes detected**.

<Note>
  Only the project owner can edit features. Attempting to edit as a non-owner returns **"You don't have permission to edit this card"**.
</Note>

## Feature detail pages

Each feature has a dedicated detail page with full description, vote count, and comments:

| Context         | URL                             |
| --------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Owner dashboard | `/dashboard/[slug]/[cardSlug]`  |
| Public portal   | `{slug}.bettter.app/[cardSlug]` |

Editing from the detail page uses the same **Edit Feature Request** dialog as the board.
