# Edit an Optimize Channel

You can edit your Optimize Channels after your [initial setup](https://help.impact.com/brand/platform-features/cross-channel-performance-insights/optimize-startup-guide) was completed as your marketing channels are changed and updated.

When editing an Optimize Channel, impact.com recommends keeping the logic as simple and readable as possible. This will make ongoing support of your rules more effective and efficient.
