The blueprint can now be used for creating automations.
## Keeping blueprints up to date
Blueprints created by the community may go through multiple revisions. Sometimes a user creates a blueprint,
the community provides feedback, and new functionality is added.
While there's no built-in functionality to update a blueprint you've already imported, you can manually edit
its YAML content to keep it up to date:
1. Navigate to the blueprints directory (`blueprints/automation/`).
The location of this directory depends on the installation method and it's
similar to how you find [`configuration.yaml`](/docs/configuration/#editing-configurationyaml).
1. Next, you must find the blueprint to update. The path name of a blueprint consists of:
- The username of the user that created it, which depends from where you imported the blueprint,
the forum or GitHub.
- The name of the YAML file. For the forum it's the title of the topic in the URL, for GitHub
it's the name of the YAML file.
1. Open the YAML file with your editor and update its contents.
1. Reload the automations for the changes to take effect.
The new changes will appear to your existing automations as well.
## Finding new blueprints
The Home Assistant Community forums have a specific tag for blueprints. This tag is used to collect all blueprints.
