# Edit Collection Extensions

## Prerequisites

## Edit a Collection Extension

1. Go to **Configure** > **Tools** > **Automations and Collection Extensions** > **Collection Extensions** and click the name of the collection extension to edit.
2. On the right of the detailed view, click the edit icon (tooltip **Edit**).

3. In the **Edit Collection Extension** view, change the name, select another action, enter the arguments for the action, select whether it runs as the user or the system, or select the runtime limit. For the settings and their defaults, see [Create Collection Extensions](/documentation/docs/create-collection-extensions-1). The **Action Documentation** panel on the right shows the documentation of the selected action.

4. Click **Save Collection Extension**.

To check the result, look at the settings on the detailed view of the collection extension.

## Import, Export, or Delete a Collection Extension

You import collection extensions on the **Collection Extensions** tab. You export and delete them from the detailed view of a collection extension.

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE**: To import a collection extension, the action that it runs must already be imported on this tenant. See [Transferring Automations Across Tenants](/documentation/docs/transferring-automations-across-tenants).

To import a collection extension:

1. Go to **Configure** > **Tools** > **Automations and Collection Extensions** > **Collection Extensions** and click **Import**.
2. Select the `.lscmdprofile` file to import.

The imported collection extension shows in the **Collection Extensions** list.

To export a collection extension:

1. Go to **Configure** > **Tools** > **Automations and Collection Extensions** > **Collection Extensions** and click the name of the collection extension.
2. On the right of the detailed view, click the export icon.

To delete a collection extension:

> [!CAUTION]
> **WARNING**: Deleting a collection extension also deletes all its tool schedules. You cannot undo the delete.

1. Go to **Configure** > **Tools** > **Automations and Collection Extensions** > **Collection Extensions** and click the name of the collection extension.
2. On the right of the detailed view, click the delete icon.
3. In the confirmation dialog, which shows how many triggers are scheduled for the collection extension, confirm the delete.

The action that the collection extension used stays in Action Governance. The collection extension no longer shows in the **Collection Extensions** list.

## Troubleshooting

- You can't edit or delete the collection extension: the page is locked. Click the lock icon at the top right of the page.
- For other problems, see [Troubleshooting](/documentation/docs/create-collection-extensions-1#troubleshooting) in Create Collection Extensions.
