### **Overview**
You can edit subject information in GotPhoto after [activating your access codes](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/activate-access-codes-and-organize-photos-qr-cards-only?hsLang=en). The steps differ slightly depending on whether you used a names list or another tagging method.

### **Edit a subject using a names list**
If you uploaded a names list, follow these steps:
1. 1Go to the [Photo Job main settings page](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/the-photo-jobs-settings-page?hsLang=en) and click the blue **View names** button (under your tagging method).
2. 2On the next page, locate the subject you want to edit. Open the **Actions** dropdown in their row and select **Edit**.
3. 3In the popup window, update the necessary fields and click **Save**.
---
### **Edit a subject with any tagging method**
If you did not use a names list, or if you prefer to edit directly in albums, follow these steps:
1. 1Within the subject’s album, open the **Manage individual** dropdown menu.
- Select **Edit current student** to update their details, or
- Select **Add a potential buyer** to add a parent’s information.

1. 1Go to the [Photo Job main settings page](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/the-photo-jobs-settings-page?hsLang=en) and click the blue **View names** button (under your tagging method).
2. 2On the next page, locate the subject you want to delete from the list. Open the **Actions** dropdown in their row and select **Delete**.

### **Delete a subject with any tagging method**
If you did not use a names list, or if you prefer to delete the subject directly from the album, follow these steps:
1. 1Within the subject’s gallery, open the **Manage individual** dropdown menu.
2. 2Click **Delete access code (keep photos)**.
3. 3Photos that were connected to the access code will be moved on top of the album. In order to remove them, highlight all photos and click on **Delete** (trash can icon on the right).

### **Important note**
Updating subject information will not change details in existing orders. Only future orders will reflect the updated information.
---
### **The takeaway**
You can edit subject details either from the **Manage names** section (if using a names list) or directly within a subject’s album. Remember that changes only apply to future orders, not to those already placed.
