# Updating Components

Changes in your business processes may require you to update your reusable [components](/v1/docs/create-components)occasionally. All scripts that utilize the reusable component will be updated accordingly when changes are saved.

## Editing Component Script

1. Select the component in the [Test tree](/v1/docs/tree-view).
2. Click on the **Script tab** > **Open ScriptBuilder**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-J5863DB6.png)
3. Make the changes to the script and click save.
