# Update a recurring invoice template

PATCH `/partners/recurring-invoice-templates/{uuid}`

Updates an existing recurring invoice template. Only sent fields are changed.

You may update invoice fields (customer, line items, totals), recurrence settings, and `nextInvoiceDate`. Changing recurrence recalculates remaining occurrences when an end date is set.
