1. From Setup, enter Action Link Templates in the Quick Find box, then select **Action Link Templates**.
2. To edit an action link group template, click **Edit** next to its name.
    
    If the group template isn’t published, edit any field. If it is published, edit the Name field only.
3. To edit an action link template:
    1. Click the name of its master action link group template.
    2. Click the Action Link Template ID to open the detail page for the action link template.
    3. Click **Edit**.
        
        If the associated action link group template isn’t published, edit any field. If it’s published, edit any of these fields:
        
        - Action URL
        - HTTP Request Body
        - HTTP Headers
        
        These fields support context variables and binding variables.
        
        You can add and delete context variables in any of these fields.
        
        You cannot add a new binding variable. You can:
        
        - Move a binding variable to another editable field in an action link template.
        - Use a binding variable more than once in an action link template.
        - Use a binding variable more than once in any action link templates associated with the same action link group template.
        - Remove binding variables.
