To add or edit a state or province, navigate to its detail page through the detail page of its associated country.

In the case that the name of a country changes, that change is only automatically applied to new organizations. If you have an existing organization, you must manually update the country name.

Note When there is a state or country translation for the target language configured in Translation Workbench, the translation value will be displayed in the picklist.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter State, and then select **State and Country/Territory Picklists**.
2. Click **Configure States, Countries, and Territories** and choose your action.
    - To add a country, click **New Country/Territory**.
    - To edit a country, click **Edit** and select the country.
    - To add a state or province to a country, click **Edit**, select the country, and click **New State**.
    - To edit a state or province, click **Edit**, then select the country and state, and click **Edit**.
3. Configure the State, Country, and Territory picklist fields.
4. Specify whether the state, country, or territory is **Active** and available in the Metadata API and can be imported.
5. For an active state, country, or territory, specify whether it’s also **Visible** and available to users.
6. Save your changes.

State and country/territory picklists offer faster and easier data entry. They help to ensure cleaner data that can be harnessed for other uses—in reports and dashboards, for example. They protect data integrity by preventing typos, alternate spellings, and junk data—even in records updated through the API.")

Integration values for states, countries, and territories default to the full ISO-standard state, country, and territory names. The way integration values function is similar to the way API names of custom fields and objects function. Configure integration values so integrations that you set up before enabling state and country/territory picklists continue to work.")
