# Manage Credentials

> Find credentials, see their activity, edit them one at a time or in bulk, and export, resend, suspend or revoke them.

Go to **Credentials** to see every credential your organization issued.

![The Credentials page](https://mintcdn.com/hyperstack/BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q/images/credentials-list.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q\&q=85\&s=43f03134aa121b4af7858604b4643e90)

## Find credentials

* **Tabs**: Active Credentials, Suspended, Revoked, Expired, Under Review and Scheduled.
* **Search**: by name, email, credential ID, group title or group code.
* **Filters**: by date range and by credential group.

![The date range and group filters](https://mintcdn.com/hyperstack/BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q/images/credentials-filters.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q\&q=85\&s=f71a4221db7965bb4f82ca77ec9ca45b)

The **Activity** icons on each row show if the recipient opened the email, viewed the credential and added it to LinkedIn.

## Act on many credentials

Tick the credentials, then pick an action in the bar at the top. To act on every credential that matches your search and filters, click **Select all** in the notice above the table.

![Two selected credentials with Resend Invitation, Suspend, Revoke, Update and Export](https://mintcdn.com/hyperstack/BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q/images/credentials-selected.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q\&q=85\&s=45575d055a9b418e57545d1c5ab3a065)

| Action | What it does |
| - | - |
| **Resend Invitation** | Sends the credential email again. |
| **Suspend** / **Unsuspend** | Verification shows the credential as suspended until you unsuspend it. See [Suspend a credential](/docs/tutorials/miscellaneous/credential-suspension). |
| **Revoke** | The credential stops being valid for good. This can't be undone. |
| **Update** | Changes names, emails and attributes with a spreadsheet. See [Update in bulk](#update-in-bulk). |
| **Export** | Downloads PDFs, images or a spreadsheet. See [Export](#export). |

The menu at the end of each row has the same actions for one credential, plus **View Details** and **Recipient view** (the public credential page).

## A credential's page

Click a credential to open its page.

* **Issued**, **Published**, **Expires** and **Views** at the top.
* **Timeline**: every event, newest first. When it was published and changed, and each time someone viewed, verified or shared it, with their country, device and where they came from.
* **Design**: the certificate and badge as issued.
* **Recipient view** opens the credential's public page.
* **Actions**: Resend invitation, Export, Suspend and Revoke.

## Edit a credential

Click **Edit details**.

![The Edit details tab](https://mintcdn.com/hyperstack/BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q/images/credential-edit.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q\&q=85\&s=e0fc9bc2d3e292dde096193eaf8babbb)

You can change:

* **Recipient name**, as it appears on the credential.
* **Email**, where the credential is sent. You can change it twice.
* **Group**. This can change the credential's design and content.
* **Expiry**: never expires, expire now, or a date. After this date, verification shows the credential as expired.
* **Issuance date**, the date of issue on the credential. Leave it empty to show the publishing date.
* Your [custom attributes](/docs/tutorials/advanced-setup/custom-attributes).

Click **Review changes**, then save. The credential page, downloads and verification show the new details at once.

> [!NOTE]
>
> A revoked credential can't be edited.

## Update in bulk

To change many credentials at once:

**1. Select the credentials and click Update**

The Studio opens **Update credentials**.

**2. Download the sheet**

It has a row for each credential. You can change:

* `recipient_name`: the name on the credential.
* `recipient_email`: only for credentials not published yet.
* `custom_…`: attribute values. An empty cell keeps the saved value.

Leave `credential_id` and `group_id` as they are.

![Update credentials, step 1: download the sheet](https://mintcdn.com/hyperstack/BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q/images/modify-1-start.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q\&q=85\&s=c87116a503239a29df13db347b53a62a)

**3. Upload the changed sheet**

Rows are matched by `credential_id`, so you can sort or remove rows.

**4. Review and apply**

The Studio shows what will change. Fix any row it marks, then click **Update**. Each credential keeps its old values in its history.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Bulk updates depend on your plan. You can always edit credentials one at a time.

## Export

Select credentials and click **Export**, or open a credential and click **Actions → Export**.

![The Export dialog with PDF, Images and Spreadsheet](https://mintcdn.com/hyperstack/BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q/images/credential-export.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=BRB0JNPJFl2Fq7-q\&q=85\&s=782b93dde7c2fdfba5a7ec5157afa901)

* **PDF**: a PDF of each certificate, with badge images, in one ZIP file.
* **Images**: a JPEG of each certificate, with badge images, in one ZIP file.
* **Spreadsheet**: a CSV with each recipient, email, attribute and credential link.

Keep the tab open until the export finishes. Each certificate takes about a second.

## Delete

You can only delete credentials that are not published yet (under review). Published credentials can be suspended or revoked instead.
