How to edit an existing DNS record?

Help
1

Hi there,

I want to be able to edit the existing DNS records for a project, however it seems they removed the advanced settings option such that this is no longer valid? Managing DNS Records

There is a post from a week ago about this same issue, however they found they had to do it by command lines. How would one do this? Is there instead another way to do this?

Thanks!

Hi, @reconiii! Welcome to the Vercel Community. :waving_hand:

Could you share what you’re seeing? You should be able to edit DNS records as follows:

  1. Go to your Vercel dashboard
  2. Click on the “Domains” tab
  3. Select the domain you want to modify
  4. Scroll down to the “DNS Records” section - here you should see all your existing records
  5. To edit a record, click on the three dots (⋮) on the right side of the record and select “Edit”

As @reconniii hasn’t responded, I will if that’s okay as I have the same issue. I’ve been without email since I started using Vercel’s NS. This is what I see,

I had this as well @drewrogers2025. The documentation is wrong, so even if you ask GPT, you get the same answer. I solved it though. Standby…

Go to your dashboard, the one where you see all your projects laid out.

That’s the right place. Thanks for sharing the solution.

In case anyone wants more info, you can it in the docs:

Click on your domain, and you’ll see your DNS settings. You enter the details, use the dropdown to select the type of DNS record, CNAME, TXT etc, then click the Add button and it’ll upload it. It takes between 24-48 hours for DNS to update, however mine was in minutes.
