# ◾ How to Modify a Case

:::info
Once created, a Case can be **modified or copied**:

* **Modify** a Case when the Case needs to be **permanently changed**.
* [**Copy**](/doc/how-to-copy-a-case-ZsgcaLzYSe) a Case when a new Case needs to be used in a different event, possibly **slightly or considerably altered**.

1. Find the desired **Case**

   
   1. through opening the containing [**Cabinet**](/doc/structure-of-case-manager-frvSDKOjaj) and selecting it,
   2. or using the scroll bar on the **Cases** panel,
   3. or with the help of the search bar on the **Case Manager** screen.
