# Updating Center Attributes
> Changes to center details — name, location, operating hours, contact info, and more — are automatically synced to partner organizations.
## What are center attributes?
Center attributes are the core details that describe your exam center:
* **Center name and code**
* **Location** (address and map link)
* **Exam type** (CBT, PBT, or both)
* **Operating hours** (days and times the center is open)
* **Time zone**
* **Contact name, phone, and email**
* **Accommodations** (accessibility options)
Any time you update these details in your organization, Center Sync automatically pushes the updated information to your partner organizations.

## How to update center details
{/*
*/}
From the **Centers** list, click the center you want to update to open its **Overview** page.
In the center information panel, click the **Edit Details** button (pencil icon).
Update any combination of:
* Center name or center code
* Location (update the address or Google Maps link)
* Exam type
* Operating hours (toggle days, adjust time ranges)
* Contact name, phone, or email
* Accommodations
For time zone updates, use the edit icon next to the **Time Zone** field directly on the Overview page.
Click **Confirm** to save your changes. The sync to partner organizations begins automatically.

## What the partner organization sees
Once the sync completes, the partner organization's copy of the center reflects your updated details. This includes:
| Field updated | What changes in the partner organization |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Center name | Displayed name updates everywhere it appears |
| Location | Map link and address update |
| Operating hours | Hours reflect the updated schedule |
| Time zone | Sessions and slots are displayed in the new zone |
| Contact details | Contact name, phone, and email update |
| Exam type | CBT / PBT indicator updates |
| Accommodations | Available accommodations list updates |
If you are making several changes at once, save them all together. Each save triggers one sync — batching updates is more efficient and reduces the brief **Syncing** window that partners see.

## Center status during sync
When you save changes, your center status temporarily changes to **Syncing**. During this time:
* The center remains fully operational for your organization
* Edits to the center are temporarily paused to maintain consistency with the partner side
* Normal status resumes automatically once the sync completes (typically within seconds)
If you attempt to edit the center while it is in the **Syncing** state, the platform will show a message indicating that edits are temporarily unavailable. Wait for the sync to complete before making further changes.

## Frequently asked questions
Changes are usually reflected in the partner organization within a few seconds of saving. If a sync is already in progress (for example, because another change was saved just before), it will complete the current run and pick up your new changes in the next cycle.
Yes. The sync uses internal identifiers, not the center name, to match records. Renaming your center updates the name on the partner side — it does not create a second copy or break any existing mappings.
The change is synced immediately. The partner organization's copy will show the updated exam type. Any existing slots or schedules that were tied to the previous exam type remain; consult your platform administrator if a structural change to schedules is needed.
Operating hours are configuration data — syncing them updates the displayed hours but does not automatically cancel or reschedule existing candidate bookings. Booking management remains with each organization.
