## Discussion

To edit an asset’s image or video content, you must first begin a content editing session with the asset’s [`requestContentEditingInput(with:completionHandler:)`](/documentation/Photos/PHAsset/requestContentEditingInput(with:completionHandler:)) method. You commit a content edit by setting the [`contentEditingOutput`](/documentation/Photos/PHAssetChangeRequest/contentEditingOutput) property of a change request within a change block. For more information about asset content editing, see [`PHAsset`](/documentation/Photos/PHAsset).
