# Update a course

`PATCH /v1/courses/{id}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.vidocu.ai`
- URL: `https://api.vidocu.ai/v1/courses/{id}`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://vidocu.ai/oauth/authorize`, token URL `https://api.vidocu.ai/oauth/token`)

Title, planner instructions, project folder, and the access + completion settings for the learner link. Modules and status are owned by the pipeline. Settings are merged, so a partial patch leaves the fields it does not name alone.

**Scope:** `courses:write`

**Role permission:** `canEdit` (OAuth only — API keys carry full workspace permissions)
