# Update a peer connection's settings

After you or another enrollment administrator [create a peer connection](../create-a-peer-connection/index.md), you can modify its status, security, or peered data types through the **Settings** tab when viewing the connection in Peer Manager.

All data ceases to peer if *either* the local or remote side of the peer connection chooses to disable the connection. Data will not peer until the connection is re-enabled.

## Modify a peer connection's security

The **Security** section enables you to modify the [peer connection's security](../core-concepts/index.md#connection-security). Select **Manage** to change the configured **Classification Markings** or **Other Markings**.

Security modifications alter the data that may peer over the connection, so *all* security changes must be approved by the remote enrollment before they take effect. When one side of the peer connection changes the security, Peer Manager will open a change request on the other side of the connection for approval.
