# Update a repurpose

> Update the source, format, publish mode, or destinations of a repurpose.

Requires **manage repurposes** permission (Owner / Admin / Member). Viewers get `403`. Other-workspace IDs return `403`.

Conceptual guide: [Repurpose](/knowledge-base/repurposes).

Omitted fields stay unchanged. Changing `source_social_account_id` or `source_format` on a row that already has `activated_at` **resets the watermark** to now — only videos published after the change are replicated.

An **active** row cannot drop its last usable destination (`422` on `destinations`). Required publish meta is enforced when the row is already running.

A switched-off account is accepted as a destination (it is skipped at job time). The source still cannot appear in `destinations`. The source + format pair must stay unique in the workspace.

`paused_reason` is not writable — do not send it.

## Request

<ParamField body="source_social_account_id" type="string">
  Move the watch to another Instagram or Facebook account in this workspace.

<ParamField body="source_format" type="string">
  `reel`, `video`, or `story`.
</ParamField>

</ParamField>
