# Patch asset blocks

> Partially updates one or many blocks by ID without replacing the full content tree.

Use this endpoint for targeted block edits. It applies id-based patches and keeps untouched blocks intact.

<Warning>
  This endpoint does not perform full replacement. If you need full content replacement, use PATCH `/assets/{assetId}/update` with `contentBlocks`.
</Warning>

<Note>
  This endpoint is field-only (`content`, `inline`, `meta`). Use [Apply block operations](/api-reference/apply-block-operations) for structural transforms via `turn_into`.
</Note>
