# How do I edit or delete a module? You can edit a module in the Edit Module Settings menu. Editing a module allows you to rename the module, [lock modules](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-lock-a-module/ta-p/1124), [add prerequisites](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-prerequisites-to-a-module/ta-p/1123), [add requirements](https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-requirements-to-a-module/ta-p/1131), or edit the module assignment details. If necessary, you can delete a module in your course. When you delete a module, all of the items in that module are removed, but they are not deleted from the course. ## Open Modules
