2. To add a record, select **Add record**.
3. To edit an existing record, select **Edit** for the appropriate record.
4. After making your changes, select **Save**.

After you confirm your DNS records, [change your nameservers](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/automatic-platform-optimization/get-started/change-nameservers/).
