# Edit Address Event

Events can be updated with information. Commonly changes to description. 

Editing does not scoring of event unless you change the "action" eg from 'accept' to 'deny' altering making a positive outcome a negative outcome. For example: You have event 'successful' delivery and two week later the customer informs this was unsuccessful. You can go into your event and change 'action' to 'deny' meaning unsuccessful delivery and the address is re-scored.

To neutralise an event (meaning to remove the score associated) you will need to [Create Address Event ](/loqate-harmony-api/address-exchange-beta/adx-api-specification/create-address-event.md)the counteracting the Event you want to neutralise in description include the event uuid that is related.
