# Update an Asset (C/C++)
## Available APIs
You can use [OH_Asset_Update](../../reference/apis-asset-store-kit/_asset_api.md#oh_asset_update) to update an asset.
The following table describes the attributes for updating an asset.
>**NOTE**
>
>In the following table, the attributes starting with **ASSET_TAG_DATA_LABEL** are custom asset attributes reserved. These attributes are not encrypted. Therefore, do not put personal data in these attributes.

## Example
Update asset **demo_alias** as follows: change the asset plaintext to **demo_pwd_new** and additional attribute to **demo_label_new**.
1. Add the dynamic library in the CMake script.
```txt
target_link_libraries(entry PUBLIC libasset_ndk.z.so)
```
2. Add an asset.
```c
#include
#include "asset/asset_api.h"
void UpdateAsset() {
static const char *ALIAS = "demo_alias";
static const char *SECRET = "demo_pwd_new";
static const char *LABEL = "demo_label_new";
Asset_Blob alias = { (uint32_t)(strlen(ALIAS)), (uint8_t *)ALIAS };
Asset_Blob new_secret = { (uint32_t)(strlen(SECRET)), (uint8_t *)SECRET };
Asset_Blob new_label = { (uint32_t)(strlen(LABEL)), (uint8_t *)LABEL };
Asset_Attr query[] = { { .tag = ASSET_TAG_ALIAS, .value.blob = alias } };
Asset_Attr attributesToUpdate[] = {
{ .tag = ASSET_TAG_SECRET, .value.blob = new_secret },
{ .tag = ASSET_TAG_DATA_LABEL_NORMAL_1, .value.blob = new_label },
};
int32_t ret = OH_Asset_Update(query, sizeof(query) / sizeof(query[0]), attributesToUpdate,
sizeof(attributesToUpdate) / sizeof(attributesToUpdate[0]));
if (ret == ASSET_SUCCESS) {
// Asset updated successfully.
} else {
// Failed to update Asset.
}
}
```
