+## Manually update device site association
+
+Security admininstrators can manually assign or modify the site location for a device. Manually assigning a site overrides the automatic site association created when making the site.
+
+To quickly update a group of devices, select multiple devices from the inventory and set the site for all of the selected devices simulataneously.
+
+**To change the site associated with a device**:
+
+1. Select **Assets -> Devices** to open the **Device Inventory**.
+
+1. Select the device, or group of devices, to update. A list of action buttons appear at the top of the Device Inventory table.
+
+1. Select **Set site**. The **Set site** pane opens.

+
+1. Select **Save and close**.
+
+1. The Set site confirmation box appears. Select **Confirm** to finalize the change. Finalizing the change prevents automatic site reassignment based on existing site security rules. This change remains until the device is reset manually.
+
+>[!Note]
+>
+>For managing an entire site, instead of manually changing each individual device to a new site, it is recommended to go to **Site security** and use the **Edit site** wizard to more efficiently manage the site and the devices associated to it. For more information, see [Site security](monitor-site-security.md).
