Updating forum replies

To update a reply to a topic in a community forum, send an updated forum reply document in Atom format to the existing reply's edit Web address.

All existing forum reply information will be replaced with the new data. To avoid deleting all existing data, retrieve any data you want to retain first, and send it back with this request. See Retrieving forum replies for more information. If you want to delete a reply and provide a customized message about why the reply was removed, send this request without first retrieving the reply data and include a <category scheme="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/flags term="deleted"> element in the entry content. See Deleting forum replies for more information.

See Authenticating requests for information about how to authenticate the request.
