# Partially update an asset (RFC 7386 JSON Merge Patch)

`PATCH /api/v1/assets/{asset_id}`

Partially updates an asset using JSON Merge Patch semantics (RFC 7386). Send only the
fields you want to change under `form_fields`: a field present with a value sets it, a field
present with `null` clears it, and an omitted field is left untouched. Unlike PUT, you do
not need to resend the entire form. Concurrent updates are guarded by optimistic locking and
retried automatically.
