# Updating User Profiles

>  

Users can clearly express their identities by updating their profiles. Profile updates support markdown formatting and media asset references. All fields must be explicitly provided—if a field is intended to remain unchanged, pass its current value.

**Updating User Profiles using React Integration**:

```typescript theme={null}
import { useUser } from '@sageprotocol/sdk/react';
import { useWallet } from '@suiet/wallet-kit';

function UpdateProfile({ ownedUserId, currentProfile }) {
  const { update } = useUser();
  const { account, signAndExecuteTransaction } = useWallet();

  const handleUpdateProfile = async () => {
    const result = await update({
      amounts: [0, 0],                             // Required, typically [0, 0]
      avatar: currentProfile.avatar,               // Blob ID for avatar (existing or new ID)
      banner: currentProfile.banner,               // Blob ID for banner (existing or new ID)
      description: "Blockchain enthusiast and Web3 developer",  // Markdown-supported description
      name: currentProfile.name,                   // Username casing updates only
      ownedUserId,                                 // User's owned object ID
      self: account.address                        // User's wallet address
    });

    if (result.ok) {
      await signAndExecuteTransaction({ transaction: result.transaction });
      console.log("Profile updated successfully!");
    } else {
      console.error("Profile update error:", result.err);
    }
  };

  return (
    <button onClick={handleUpdateProfile}>
      Update Profile
    </button>
  );
}

export default UpdateProfile;
```

<Accordion title="Updating User Profiles Using Direct JavaScript Integration" icon="rectangle-code" iconType="sharp-solid">
  ```javascript theme={null}
  const updateUserResult = await sageClient.updateUser({
    amounts: [0, 0],                                   // Required, typically [0, 0]
    avatar: currentProfile.avatar,                     // Existing or new avatar blob ID
    banner: currentProfile.banner,                     // Existing or new banner blob ID
    description: "Blockchain enthusiast and Web3 developer", // Markdown-supported description
    name: currentProfile.name,                         // Username casing updates only
    ownedUserId: 'your-owned-user-id',                 // User's owned user object ID
    self: walletAddress                                // User's wallet address
  });

  if (updateUserResult.ok) {
    await signAndExecuteTransaction({ transaction: updateUserResult.transaction });
    console.log("Profile updated successfully!");
  } else {
    console.error("Profile update error:", updateUserResult.err);
  }
  ```
</Accordion>

### Important Notes:

* **Complete Replacement:** All fields must be provided explicitly for every update. Any field left out or mistakenly changed could unintentionally overwrite existing valuessage\_sdk.
* **Username Casing Only:** Username updates are limited strictly to casing changes (e.g., "john-doe" to "John-Doe"). New usernames cannot be assigned through updatessage\_sdk.
* **Blob IDs for Media:** Avatar and banner images must use Walrus blob IDs (numeric IDs), not URLssage\_sdk.
