Competitive intelligence is only valuable when it is accurate and up to date. Playwise HQ makes it easy to edit any existing competitor battlecard so your sales team always has the latest information at their fingertips. Whether a competitor has launched a new product, changed their pricing strategy, or your team has discovered new win/loss patterns, you can update your battlecards in just a few clicks.
The edit experience uses the same multi-step form as battlecard creation, pre-populated with your existing data. You can update any section, navigate freely between steps, and save your changes at any point — you do not need to complete every step before saving.
Key benefits
Keep competitive intelligence current — Update battlecards as competitors evolve so your team is never working with stale information.
Edit any section independently — Jump directly to the section you need to update without stepping through the entire form.
Save at any point — Use “Save & Exit” on any step to save your progress without completing the full form.
Full version history — Every save creates a new version, giving your account an audit trail of how competitor intelligence has changed over time.
Only users with an Admin or Editor role in Playwise HQ can edit competitor battlecards. Users with the Viewer role can view battlecards but cannot make changes. If you do not see the “Edit Battlecard” button when viewing a competitor, contact your account administrator to request the appropriate role.
If your account has exceeded its subscription plan’s battlecard limit, some battlecards may become locked. Locked battlecards cannot be viewed in full or edited. If you encounter a locked battlecard, a dialog will appear explaining the restriction and offering an option to upgrade your plan.
Your subscription plan limits the number of products you can add per battlecard. If you try to add more products than your plan allows during editing, a notification will appear prompting you to upgrade.
Every time you save changes to a battlecard, Playwise HQ automatically creates a new version. This preserves a complete history of edits for your account’s records.
A Step by Step Guide on How to Edit a Competitor Battlecard in Playwise HQ
On the battlecard view page, click the “Edit Battlecard” button (with a pencil icon) in the top-right area of the page.
This will open the Edit Competitor page, which displays the same multi-step form used during creation — pre-populated with all of the battlecard’s existing data.
Edit any fields as needed. The form works the same way as during creation:
Text fields — Click into the field and type your changes.
Rich text fields (Description, Response Strategy, Details & Talking Points, Mitigation Strategy) — Use the rich text editor to format your content.
Dropdown fields (Market Position step) — Select a new value from the dropdown menu.
Dynamic lists (Strengths, Weaknesses, Industries, Customers) — Add new entries with the “Add” button, remove entries with the trash icon, or edit existing entries in place.
Objections — Edit the objection text, response strategy, or persona tags on any existing objection card. Add new objections with “Add Objection” or remove them with the trash icon.
Win/Loss Themes — Edit existing themes or add new ones with “Add Win Theme” / “Add Loss Theme”. Remove themes with the trash icon.
Products — See Step 5 below for detailed product editing instructions.
You have two ways to save, depending on which step you are on:
Option A: Save & Exit (available on Steps 1-5)
Click the “Save & Exit” button to save all your changes and return to the battlecard view page. This is useful when you only need to update one or two sections and do not need to step through the entire form.
Option B: Save Changes (on Step 6 — Products)
On the final step, click the “Save Changes” button. This validates all steps and saves the complete battlecard.
After saving:
A green notification will confirm: “Competitor battlecard saved successfully” (Save & Exit) or “Competitor battlecard updated successfully” (Save Changes).
You will be redirected to the battlecard view page where your updates are immediately visible.
A new version of the battlecard is created automatically.
After saving, you will be taken back to the battlecard view page. Review the updated sections to confirm your changes were saved correctly. If anything needs further adjustment, click “Edit Battlecard” again to return to the edit form.
Validation errors — If a required field is empty or a field exceeds its character limit, the form will highlight the issue with a red border and error message. Resolve all errors before saving.
Subscription limit exceeded — If you exceed the product limit for your plan, a dialog will appear with your current usage and an option to upgrade.
Network errors — If saving fails due to a network issue, an error notification will appear. Your unsaved changes are preserved in the form so you can try saving again.
