# Update subscriber list

`PATCH /lists/{listId}`

Updates a subscriber list's name, description, or privacy flag. Only provided fields are changed.

## Path parameters

- `listId` string, required

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string — New list name.
  - `description` string, nullable — New list description. Pass null to clear it.
  - `isPrivate` boolean — Set to true to keep the list internal and omit it from individual controls on the hosted subscriber email preferences/unsubscribe page. Set to false to expose its name and description on that page. List privacy does not override a subscriber's global unsubscribe. Omit this field to leave the current visibility unchanged.

## Response `200`

List updated

- object
  - `success` boolean
  - `list` SubscriberList
    - `id` string
    - `name` string
    - `description` string, nullable
    - `isPrivate` boolean — Whether the list is private. Private lists are omitted from the hosted subscriber email preferences/unsubscribe page and cannot be subscribed to or unsubscribed from individually there. Public lists expose their name and description on that page. List privacy does not override a subscriber's global unsubscribe.
    - `createdAt` string, date-time
