# Editing a Unit

If you need to edit an existing unit, simply open the unit and make changes or additions as needed. Beacon automatically saves your changes.

## Quick Guide

1. Access the unit you want to edit.
  - From the **Year at a Glance** course view ( calendar_view_month ), select the bar that represents the unit. A window appears, allowing you to edit the **Unit Title**, **Unit Date Range**, or **Duration**. Add **Attachments** as needed. Select **Done**.
  - From the **List** course view ( view_list ), select the **Units** tab. Then, edit the **Title**, **Dates**, or **Duration** by double-clicking the cell and then typing a new entry. When you are finished, click outside of the row to save your changes.
2. To edit unit details, select the **Open Unit** icon ( open_in_new ). Make changes or additions as needed using the Editor’s word processor. Your edits save automatically.
3. In the **Relationships** panel, you can link or unlink standards, lessons, resources, and attachments.
4. To change the title, select the three vertical dots next to the course title to open the **More Actions** menu and then select **Edit** from the drop-down menu. Make changes as needed and then select **Save**.

## Illustrated Guide

**Step 1:** Access the unit you want to edit from either the **Year at a Glance** view or **Unit List** view of the course in which it resides. You can then edit the title, date range, duration, or attachments or open the unit to edit further details. Expand a section below to learn more about editing units from each view.

> [!NOTE]
