{% step %}

#### Navigate to Indirect Activities

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Engage** menu and click **Indirect Activities**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select an Indirect Activity

The Indirect Activities list displays available records. Click the record you want to edit.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click Edit

On the indirect activity detail page, click the **Edit** button.

If the record is already marked complete, a **Mark as Incomplete & Edit** confirmation appears. Confirming marks the indirect activity incomplete so you can make changes; mark it complete again when you are finished.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Edit the Indirect Activity

Modify the indirect activity details as needed. For field-specific guidance, refer to:

* [Create an Indirect Activity](/engage/indirect-activities/create-an-indirect-activity.md) — General Information
* [Collaborators](/engage/indirect-activities/collaborators.md)
* [Intervention Channels and Reach](/engage/indirect-activities/add-channels.md)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Save

Click **Save and Continue** to save changes and proceed to the next section, or click **Save** to save and return to the record detail page.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**NOTE:** You may only edit Indirect Activities you created in the current reporting period, unless you are a collaborator, editable user, or Data Manager. Contact your Data Manager to access records from previous reporting periods. Organization Data Managers are listed in the [PEARS Directory](/accounts-and-permissions/accounts-and-permissions/directory.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**CAUTION:** Changing program areas may impact existing data. PEARS asks you to confirm before saving the change. When switching between SNAP-Ed and Extension program areas, SNAP-Ed-specific fields are removed, including Intervention name, Project name, Food demonstration/taste test, Recipe(s) used, Intervention Topics, and Estimated number of new individuals reached.
