# Edit Recipient Name, Email, and Other Dynamic Information On Credentials

## Here is how you can easily fix any typos and re-issue existing credentials

If you've sent credentials with incorrect recipient details—such as **name, email, or other dynamic information**—you can now update them and revoke the previously issued credential.

![](https://help.virtualbadge.io/hs-fs/hubfs/edit%20on%20new%20table-gif.gif?width=670&height=173&name=edit%20on%20new%20table-gif.gif)

Whenever you edit the content of existing certificates or badges, a new version of that credential will be generated. This also means that a new link will be created for accessing and validating the updated credential.

**Here's how it works:**

1. Go to the recipient table (open the credential and visit the tab "Recipients").
2. Click the edit icon next to the recipient's name:  
   ![](https://help.virtualbadge.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-18-2025-02-59-02-6409-PM.png?width=670&height=129&name=image-png-Feb-18-2025-02-59-02-6409-PM.png)
3. Make the necessary changes and save them.

4. To send the updated credential to the recipient, simply select the edited recipient and click on the “Send email” button in the top right corner. (Resending the email is optional; however, the previous validation page will automatically display a link to the updated credential.)

   Please note that it might take a few minutes for this option to become available as the new version loads.

Note: 

- Editing and re-sending credentials won’t use any additional credits from your Virtualbadge.io balance.
- Voided credentials can be viewed by clicking on the "![](https://help.virtualbadge.io/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jul-31-2025-02-20-06-1256-PM.png?width=26&height=23&name=image-png-Jul-31-2025-02-20-06-1256-PM.png)" icon.
- To edit recipients added via the trainer module, locate the recipient on the corresponding certificate and make changes using the steps outlined above. Please note that recipients from the trainer module cannot be edited directly from the recipient tab.
