# Edit an Inline Email Activity

You cannot edit Send Email activities that were created with classic email editor inside an automation, but you can replace them. After replacing the email send definition, you can edit it within an automation.

Configuring the Send Email activity creates a send definition that can be used in one or more automations. To edit an email send definition that was created with the classic email editor, replace the email send definition.
