# Edit a taxonomy

**Where:** Database → Taxonomies → taxonomy → Edit · `/projects/<project>/db/taxonomies/<taxonomyName>/edit`

{% hint style="info" %}
Screenshot TODO — capture comes from testing-plan area **04-taxonomies**.
{% endhint %}

The same form as [Create a taxonomy](/cloud/database/taxonomies/new.md) with the saved values loaded (`txn_…`) — the header reads *Editing Cities taxonomy*. Change the name, description, **Parent**, or **Additional categories**, then **Save**. A **Delete** button with a confirmation dialog removes the taxonomy.

Terms are managed on their own screen — see [Terms](/cloud/database/taxonomies/terms.md).

## Use it from code
