# Updating a Scorecard

As organizations evolve and get more complex so will the metrics that you need to look at to ensure compliance with business objectives. 

There will be a point in time where you will need to update your scorecards. You can do it in two different ways: From the UI and from the Public API.

## From the UI

You can access a scorecard's details page from the scorecard catalog by clicking one of its rows.

From here, you can update a scorecard by directly manipulating the [scorecard descriptor](https://docs.rely.io/basic-concepts/scorecards#scorecard-descriptor) in the code tab.

Once you update a scorecard, an automation process will automatically assess the compliance of various entities against the changes in the scorecard. Typically, you can expect the results to adapt within a few seconds.

Entities that don't comply with the lowest rank (bronze), will be shown as "No Rank"

## From the Public API

All scorecard descriptors are JSON files that you might want to keep in a repository next to your code. If you follow that approach then using Rely.io Public API might not be a bad option. You can use the following Scorecards endpoint to do so.

{% content-ref url="../../public-api/scorecards" %}
[scorecards](https://docs.rely.io/public-api/scorecards)
{% endcontent-ref %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember that in order to call Rely.io Public API you need to authenticate before. If this is your first time doing it refer to the [official docs](https://docs.rely.io/public-api).
