# Update Authored Knowledge Draft

`PATCH /knowledge/authored/{concept_id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/knowledge/authored/{concept_id}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Edit a concept that is still a DRAFT. FREE.

Only while it is unapproved. Once it has been approved, changing it is an
AMENDMENT - `POST /authored/{id}/amendments` - which is a new governed
revision rather than an edit in place.

## Path parameters

- `concept_id` string, required: Concept id.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Request body

- AuthoredKnowledgeRequest: Write a knowledge concept by hand. Spends nothing. This is the GOVERNED write path: the entry lands as a draft and moves through the review queue at `GET /knowledge/governance`. It does not project into the brain until it is approved there.
  - `concept_type` string, required
  - `title` string, required
  - `body` string, required
  - `visibility` string
  - `owner_id` string, nullable
  - `review_at` string, date-time, nullable
  - `stale_after` string, date-time, nullable
  - `sources` SourceInput[]
    - `resource` string, required
    - `title` string, nullable
    - `checksum` string, nullable
    - `locator` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseStudioContentPayload
  - `data` StudioContentPayload, required: One Studio object, open-shaped. See the module docstring.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
