# How do I edit an athlete's details and photo?

> Update an athlete's name, date of birth, status, levels, guardian, and photo.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * The **Edit** panel updates name, date of birth, status, levels, and the linked guardian in one place.
  * Photos **must be an image file under 5MB**. You crop the image while choosing it, before it saves.
  * **First and last name are both required** to save changes.
</Note>

You can edit an athlete two ways: from the **Athlete Directory** row menu, or from the top of the athlete's profile.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the edit panel">
    On the directory, open the row's **⋯** menu and choose **Edit Details**. Or, on the athlete's profile, click **Edit Profile**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update details">
    Change the **First Name**, **Last Name**, **Date of Birth**, **Status**, **Levels**, or **Guardian** as needed. Future dates of birth are blocked, and the Levels field only appears when Training is enabled for your club.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save Changes**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Adding or changing the photo:** On the athlete's profile, use the photo control on the profile header to upload an image. After choosing a file you can crop it to frame the athlete before saving. Uploads that aren't images, or are 5MB or larger, are rejected.

Changing the linked guardian re-points the athlete to a different existing guardian — see the guardian article for how primary guardians work.
