# Managing Agents

After creating a custom agent, you can edit its configuration or delete it at any time from the Agent Selector.

***

#### Editing an Agent

1. Open the **Agent Selector**
2. Select the custom agent you want to modify
3. Click the **Edit (pencil) icon**

You can update any of the following:

* Base model
* Agent name and tagline
* System instructions (background, role, expertise, behavior)
* Attached resources and knowledge bases

Once done, click **Update** to save your changes. Updates apply immediately to all future chats using that agent.

{% hint style="info" %}
Review and refine your agent's instructions periodically — especially after workflows evolve, new documents are added to a knowledge base, or output quality starts drifting from expectations.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Deleting an Agent

1. Open the **Edit** panel for the agent
2. Select **Delete Agent**

This permanently removes the agent from your workspace. This action cannot be undone.

{% hint style="info" %}
Deleting an agent does not delete any attached knowledge bases or uploaded files. Those remain in your workspace and can be attached to other agents.
{% endhint %}
