# Update Screening Result

PATCH https://api.fortresstech.io/v1/screening-results
Content-Type: application/json

Onboarding RequiredUpdate an existing screening result and/or its individual method details.Use this endpoint when new data comes in incrementally — for example, when one of several pending method results resolves and you want to update that detail and/or the overall result status without re-submitting everything.Screening endpoints require an additional onboarding process. Please contact our team to begin the onboarding process for screening integration.Updates are blocked if a final decision has already been recorded for the associated screening. A `409 Conflict` response will be returned in that case.
