# Update Log Reference

<mark style="color:green;">`POST`</mark> `/api/v1/log/reference/update`

Sometimes, you need to update the reference you've been using for a set of logs. For example, a user starts a multi-stage checkout flow. In the first stage of this flow, you might need to use a session ID as the reference, but on the second page, where you've created a database record, you now want to change the session ID to the database record ID.
