# Implementation methods: update, delete

URL: /code/sdk/implementation/records-update · Id: `page:code/sdk/implementation/records-update`

> The Implementation Verbs update, delete as typed SDK methods, with inputs, result, refusals and an example.

Reference for [Implementation](/business/nouns/implementation), one group of [Implementation methods](/code/sdk/implementation).

### Implementation.update
Changes the given properties of an Implementation. [Verb page](/business/nouns/implementation/update?interface=sdk).

```ts
interface ImplementationVerbs {
  update(input: ImplementationUpdateInput, options?: SB.CallOptions): SB.Call<Implementation>
}
```

Emits `Implementation.updated`.

**Inputs**

| Input | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | `string` | Yes | The id of the Implementation. |
| `kind` | `string` | No | One of `managed`, `custom`, or `external`. |
| `endpoint` | `url` | No | For an external Implementation, where api.sb routes each call. |
| `deliverBy` | `date` | No | For a `declared` Implementation: when a Function runs the Verb; a missed date refunds every reserve. |

**Returns**

| Output | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `implementation` | [Implementation](/business/nouns/implementation) | Yes | The Implementation. |

**Refuses when**

| Check | Error | Fix | Then call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation. | [`forbidden`](/code/api/errors/forbidden) | Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them. | None. |

**Example**

```ts
import { $ } from 'startup-builder'

const implementation = await $.Implementation.update({ id: 'implementation_gnulUgZJ7A', kind: 'managed' })
```

### Implementation.delete
Deletes an Implementation: a soft delete that keeps its history, undone by `Thing.restore`. [Verb page](/business/nouns/implementation/delete?interface=sdk).

```ts
interface ImplementationVerbs {
  delete(input: ImplementationDeleteInput, options?: SB.CallOptions): SB.Call<Implementation>
}
```

Emits `Implementation.deleted`.

**Inputs**

| Input | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | `string` | Yes | The id of the Implementation. |

**Returns**

| Output | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `implementation` | [Implementation](/business/nouns/implementation) | Yes | The Implementation. |

**Refuses when**

| Check | Error | Fix | Then call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation. | [`forbidden`](/code/api/errors/forbidden) | Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them. | None. |

**Example**

```ts
import { $ } from 'startup-builder'

const implementation = await $.Implementation.delete({ id: 'implementation_gnulUgZJ7A' })
```
