**TIP:** The red asterisk **\*** next to the heading of a field indicates that the field is required.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Navigate to Program Activities

From the PEARS homepage, hover over the **Engage** menu in the top navigation bar and click **Program Activities**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Select a Program Activity

The Program Activities list displays available records. Click the program activity you want to edit.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Click Edit

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

If the program activity is marked as complete, PEARS asks you to confirm **Mark as Incomplete & Edit**. Confirming marks the record as incomplete and opens the edit form. Mark the record as complete again as soon as you finish making changes.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Edit the Program Activity

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

* [Create a Program Activity](/engage/program-activities/create-a-program-activity.md) — General Information
* [Collaborators](/engage/program-activities/collaborators.md)
* [SNAP-Ed Custom Data](/engage/program-activities/add-snap-ed-custom-data.md)
* [Youth Programming Data](/engage/program-activities/add-youth-programming-data.md)
* [Evaluation](/engage/program-activities/add-survey-evaluations.md)
* [Demographics](/engage/program-activities/add-demographics-data.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 Program 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:** For Extension organizations, changing the program area may impact existing data. Switching between SNAP-Ed and Extension program areas removes SNAP-Ed Custom Data sections and may delete Evaluation, Youth Programming, and Demographics data. PEARS lists what will be deleted and asks you to confirm before saving the change.
