# How to Edit a Leave Policy

## In this article, we'll walk you through the steps on how to edit leave policies in Pabau — allowing you to update the policy type and settings to keep your leave categories accurate and up to date.

#### **Step 1: Navigate to Leave Policies**

Start by [logging into your Pabau account](https://app.pabau.com/). Once you're in, click on [Setup](https://app.pabau.com/setup) in the left sidebar menu, then click on **All Settings**. Scroll down to the **Other** section and select [**Leave Policies**](https://staging.pabau.com/setup/leave-policies).

#### **Step 2: Locate the Leave Policy You Want to Edit**

Once you're in the **Leave Policies** section, find the policy card you wish to edit.

**NOTE:** Editing a leave policy will update all future records associated with that policy. However, past leave records may not automatically reflect these changes, so it’s a good idea to review existing entries if needed.

#### **Step 3: Edit the Leave Policy**

There are two ways to open a leave policy for editing:

- Click the **three-dot menu (...)** in the top right corner of the policy card and select **Edit**.
- Alternatively, click directly on the **policy icon** on the card to open it.

Either option will redirect you to the policy type selection screen, where you can update how the policy works. Once you've made your changes, click **Save policy** to apply them.
