# Update existing rewards/bonuses

<p class="callout danger">This action required the "**Update rewards and bonuses**" permission.</p>

When editing an existing reward/bonus, keep in mind that alterations could require additional explanations.

Only rewards/bonuses, that have selected month in the future, can be edited. Rewards with payout dates, that have already passed, are considered "paid out", and should not be altered.

<p class="callout info">On **"paid out"** rewards, the edit button is replaced by a clock icon. This denotes that the rewards/bonus is not to be altered.</p>
