Update an Analysis

Update (replace) an existing Analysis.

Update an Analysis

put

Update (replace) an existing Analysis.

This endpoint accepts the same request body fields as the Create an Analysis endpoint.

Remember this is a PUT endpoint which means you must provide all supported fields or you may lose data - you are effectively replacing the existing record with a new record containing all the fields you provide. We recommend first getting the existing record and pre-populating the request body with the current values, then change the fields you need to change.

If you wish to update a smaller number of fields please use the PATCH endpoint.
