# Update an Email Activity in a Journey

Edit an email in a running journey.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/images/icon_note.png)

Note To update AMPscript in an email that is part of a running journey, pause and republish its associated triggered send.

1. Open the journey canvas.
2. Click the email activity.
3. Select **Activity Summary** from the Email Analytics dropdown menu.
4. Select **Edit Message** from the Preview & Test dropdown menu.
    
    You can click **Edit** in the corresponding sections to change message configuration, delivery options, or advanced options.
    
    ![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-mktg-mc_journeys_and_automations-264-0-0-production-enus/e08cdd71-c1c1-4ae5-a5e9-8a6dad583ad4/images/icon_important.png)
    
    Important When you edit the subject line, you must save the draft again to apply the change to this send.
5. Make your changes, and click **Save and Exit** from the Save dropdown menu.
    
    If you edit the message configuration, delivery options, or advanced options, click **Summary** when you’re done.
6. Click **Done**.

Updating an email revalidates the changes and reactivates any related triggered sends.
