# Update a DIR (no enterprise_id required)

`PATCH /dir/{dir_id}`

Edit a DIR. Only DIRs in `draft`, `rejected`, `unsuccessful`, or `suspended` are editable. PATCH is a pure edit — `status` is never changed by this endpoint. To re-vet after editing, call `POST /v2/dir/{dir_id}/submit` explicitly.

## Path parameters

- `dir_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- DirUpdateRequest — All fields are optional; only those supplied are updated. Same per-field rules as `DirCreateRequest`.
  - `display_name` string — Name shown to call recipients. 1–35 characters, no emoji, not whitespace-only.
  - `reselling` boolean — Set to true if your organization places calls on behalf of other enterprises (BPO/reseller). Updating this triggers re-vetting on next submit.
  - `authorizer_name` string — Name of the person at your enterprise authorizing this DIR. Must be a real individual.
  - `authorizer_email` string, email — Contact email of the authorizer. Telnyx may send verification or infringement notices here.
  - `logo_url` string, uri — Publicly accessible HTTPS URL (max 128 chars) to a 256x256 BMP logo (max 1 MB).
  - `call_reasons` string[] — 1–10 reasons your business calls customers. Validate phrasing against `POST /call_reasons/validate`.

    - `rejection_reasons` RejectionReason[], nullable — Populated when `status` is `rejected`; cleared on `/submit` or successful approval.
      - `code` string
      - `title` string
      - `detail` string
      - `message` string, nullable — Customer-visible free-text comment from the Telnyx vetting team. Only the first entry of `rejection_reasons` carries this; the rest are `null`.
