# `update` - [Sessions API](../README.md#sessions-api)

The `update` method of the sessions API makes it possible to modify a sessions configuration while its status is `PENDING`. This can be used to configure the session on a second device, rather than on the device under test.

## HTTP Request

`PUT /api/sessions/<session_token>`

## Request Payload

The request payload is the same as in the [`create`](./sessions-api/create.md) method of the sessions API. Only keys that are an inherent part of the configuration will stay the same if not specified in the `update` payload. All others will be deleted if not included.
