# Edit Your API Asset Metadata for Exchange

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Anypoint Studio enables you to edit the `exchange.json` file of your API specification project. The
`exchange.json` file contains metadata required by Anypoint Exchange to describe your API asset.

To edit your `exchange.json` file:

1.  Select it from your API specification project in your Project Explorer view:

2.  Use the editor to update the values of your `exchange.json` file:

<table><tbody><tr><td><i data-value="1"></i><b>1</b></td><td>You cannot edit the first item, <strong>Name</strong>, because this is the artifact name of your API specification asset.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="2"></i><b>2</b></td><td>Use the second item, <strong>Main file</strong>, to choose the main file of your API specification asset.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="3"></i><b>3</b></td><td>You cannot edit the third item, <strong>Artifact ID</strong>, because this is the artifact ID of your API specification asset.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="4"></i><b>4</b></td><td>You cannot edit the fourth item, <strong>Group ID</strong>, because this is the group ID of your API specification asset.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="5"></i><b>5</b></td><td>Use the fifth item, <strong>Asset Version</strong>, to update your API specification asset version.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="6"></i><b>6</b></td><td>Use the sixth item, <strong>API Version</strong>, to update the API version of your API specification asset.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="7"></i><b>7</b></td><td>Use the green plus icon to add a new dependency to your API specification asset.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Additionally, you can edit the XML of your `exchange.json` file by selecting the editor’s
**exchange.json** tab:
