# How can I update my SBOM that I already uploaded through the Ketryx Build API?

> **In short:** If you uploaded a CycloneDX (CDX) file through the Ketryx Build API, and would like to update the information or add additional information (ex.

If you uploaded a CycloneDX (CDX) file through the Ketryx Build API, and would like to update the information or add additional information (ex. adding more dependencies or vulnerabilities), you must upload the new CDX file (containing updates or additions) via the Build API and provide the same **buildName** as the original upload in the Build API call. A relevant FAQ on uploading a CDX artifact using the Build API can be found [here](how-can-i-upload-a-cyclonedx-artifact-through-build-api.md).

The **buildName** can be found in the navigation menu on the left-hand side of Ketryx by selecting History -> Builds (as seen in the screenshot below). Information on Ketryx's Build API can be found [here](https://docs.ketryx.com/api/build-api).

Additionally, by clicking into the hyperlink provided under the Build column, the dependency information present in the Build can be found in the **Dependencies table** (as seen in the screenshot below). The specific file that was uploaded to the Build can be found by clicking on the hyperlink in the ID column of the **Artifacts table**. This information is particularly useful for users to find information about their original SBOM using the Build API.
