# Updating an incident's status and details

Want to update specific incident details (e.g. severity, status, roles, summary etc.) without broadcasting a full-blown status update?

You can do this from the incident's Slack channel (`#inc-...`) at the speed of light, with just a few handy Slack commands ( [there are more](/incidents/shortcuts) !)

***

**The One Command to Rule Them All**:

`/incident`

From the incident's Slack channel (`#inc-...`), this will make a drop-down appear of everything you need to update an incident's details.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

For the power users out there, you can also use the following quick shortcuts:

| Action                                           | Command                                                                             |
| ------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Update the incident's **severity**               | `/incident severity`                                                                |
| Update the incident's **status**                 | `/incident status` (or `/inc resolve` to directly mark a live incident as resolved) |
| Update the incident's **summary**                | `/incident summary`                                                                 |
| Update the **roles/lead**                        | `/incident roles` or `/incident lead`                                               |
| Update [custom fields](/incidents/custom-fields) | `/incident fields`                                                                  |
| Update [Actions](/incidents/task-tracking)       | `/incident actions`                                                                 |
