### 8.6.9. Editing Shortcuts

If you have created a shortcut to an object in the repository, you can change the path defined in the shortcut if needed. You also have the option of preventing the target object that the shortcut references from being deleted.

You will be able to edit a shortcut only if:

1. You have `Modify` permission on the object.

2. It is checked out to you (if it is under version control).

3. No other user has exclusive control of it.

Important: You cannot edit a shortcut on a tablet device.

To edit a shortcut:

1. Select the shortcut, then select (Edit) > Shortcut. The Edit Shortcut dialog box opens.

2. Click Browse and then select the object to which you want to create a shortcut.

3. Optionally choose to prevent the target object from being deleted while the shortcut to it is in place.

4. Click OK.
