# Updating the queue priority for an existing flow deployment
## Introduction
Whilst you can't edit the flow version associated with an existing deployment (you'd need to deploy the required version as a new deployment instead), you *can* edit an existing deployment to update the queue priority.
## Need to know
When a new queue priority is applied for a deployment, [standard precedence rules](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/implementing-virtual-environments/deploying-a-single-process-flow-to-a-virtual-environment/understanding-queue-priority-in-virtual-environments.md) apply -i.e. the priority set here takes precedence over any priority defined in [process flow settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings.md), but if a queue priority is defined as a virtual environment override, that takes overall precedence.
## The steps
To edit an existing process flow deployment, follow the steps below.
{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Access version details for the required process flow**
Open [settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings.md) for the required process flow and scroll down to the `versions` panel.
{% hint style="info" %}
For detailed instructions, please refer to [Accessing process flow versions](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-versioning/accessing-process-flow-versions.md).
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Access deployment details**
Click the `view deployments` button:
The `deploy flow` modal opens, showing deployment options in the upper panel and existing deployments for this flow in the lower panel - for example:
{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't use [virtual environments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/about-virtual-environments.md), you will only ever see a single deployment here, but if you do use virtual environments, there are likely to be multiple deployments.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Access deployment options**
Click the ellipsis icon associated with the deployment that you want to update - for example:
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Edit the deployment**
Select the `edit` option. For example:
The version number associated with the selected flow deployment is loaded into the upper panel and can't be changed, but you can update the `environment` and `queue priority` fields - for example:
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Update deployment settings**
If you don't use [virtual environments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/about-virtual-environments.md), you will only ever see `no environment` here - select this, then update the `queue priority` as needed.
If you do use [virtual environments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/about-virtual-environments.md), all of your active environments are listed - select the required environment, then update the `queue priority` as needed. In this case, you might be deploying to the selected environment for the first time, or updating the queue priority for an existing deployment.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environment-flow-deployments/updating-the-queue-priority-for-an-existing-flow-deployment.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
