# Update a training plan

`PATCH https://api.coach-platform.com/api/public/training-plans/{planId}`

Partially update a training plan. Pass only fields you want to change.

BREAKING CHANGE: the plan name is now "title"; the previous "name" field has been removed. Unknown fields are dropped during validation, so a PATCH sending only "name" is rejected with 400 "No updatable fields were supplied" rather than silently doing nothing.

If the plan is attached to more than one trainee, editing it changes the plan for all of them, so the request returns 409 CONFLICT until you confirm with applyToAllSharedTrainees.
