If the information originally stored in the QR-Code is outdated or even incorrect, it should be replaced. If possible, this must be done without changing the appearance and coding of the current QR-Code, as this is usually already printed and in distribution. However, to moditfy an already existing QR-Code is only possible if it is a dynamic one. If you have generated a static one, you will unfortunately be in a hopeless situation and will have to create a completely new QR-Code. The old one will then become useless.

However, if you have created a dynamic QR-Code and now want to modify it, proceed as follows:

1. Log in to the website of the provider where you generated the QR-Code in the beginning.
2. There will be a kind of overview or table where all your QR-Codes that you have created with this operator are listed. At QR, for example, this page is called „Dashboard“.
3. Now you have to go to the editing area of the code you want to change. To do this, click on the respective button, which is either next to or below each code.
4. In the editing area, you can simply remove the previously stored information (e.g. your website link or the file) from the appropriate field and upload / insert the new information. Then just click on „save“.

Finished! The same QR-Code will now lead you to the new information!

Are there any problems with the modification or do you no longer know your login data? Then simply contact the support of the provider you used. It is recommended to send a photo of your QR-Code. That way your account can be identified more easily and the problem can usually be solved more quickly.
