# The Execute Update Action

*Note*: The execute update action code be found [here](https://github.com/Yakuhito/slot-machine/blob/master/rue-puzzles/actions/xchandles/execute_update.rue) ([Chialisp](https://github.com/Yakuhito/slot-machine/blob/master/puzzles/actions/xchandles/execute_update.clsp)).

Once an update has been [initiated](/techincal-manual/xchandles/the-initiate-update-action.md) and a minimum number of blocks has passed, the owner may execute the update by calling this action. In doing so, messages must also be sent from the new singleton(s) that the handle will be owned by and point to.

This puzzle does not create a puzzle announcement, as the owner can be assured the update is executed only if the message sent to the singleton is consumed.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xchandles.com/techincal-manual/xchandles/the-execute-update-action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
