# Editing a reserved queue
<a name="editing-reserved-queues"></a>

When you edit a queue, you can change the following:
+ The description, which helps you identify it in the queue dashboard.
+ The auto renew status of the queue's pricing plan for reserved transcode slots (RTS). For more information, see [Pricing for reserved queues](how-you-pay-for-reserved-queues.md).
+ The paused or active status of the queue. Pausing the queue prevents the service from starting any more jobs until you reactivate the queue.

  The following tabs show two options for editing a reserved queue.

The following `update-queue` example updates the description and status of an existing reserved queue.

```

	--region region-name-1 \
	--description "Updated description." \
	--status "PAUSED" \
	--name ReservedQueue1
```
