# Update CSAM Scanner setting

client.CsamScanner.Edit(ctx, params) (\*[CsamScannerEditResponse](<https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/go/resources/csam_scanner#(resource)%20csam_scanner%20%3E%20(model)%20CsamScannerEditResponse%20%3E%20(schema)>), error)

PATCH/zones/{zone\_id}/settings/csam\_scanner\_third\_party

Update the CSAM Scanner configuration for a zone. Allows enabling or disabling CSAM scanning, updating the notification email, and configuring scanning sources.

When a new email is provided, email verification is triggered automatically. The `enabled` field is a toggle; the server may adjust it based on whether the notification email is verified.

Returns 403 if the zone or account is locked by Trust & Safety.
