Update which PII types are anonymized, along with your allow-list and block-list, at any point after the project is created. Changes are saved automatically and apply to **future imports only** — data that has already been imported is not re-processed, and anonymization on existing data cannot be undone.

Editing anonymization requires the **Edit** project permission and a subscription plan that includes anonymization. For details on classes, allow-lists, and block-lists, see the [Anonymization guide](/get-started/project-settings/anonymization).
