### Update Browser Grid

> **Notes:**

* You will only be able to update a browser grid if it is in the **Inactive** state.

* If your browser is having trouble processing requests due to improper configurations, then you need to [Stop the grid](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/browser-grid/manage-grid/#stop-the-browser-grid), and only then update it.

* Once you update a configuration, the grid will behave as a completely new grid. The *Dashboard* populated with data from previous executions will be permanently deleted.

To update the configurations of your browser grid:

1. Select the required browser grid tile from the **Browser Grid** component space.
