# Apply C2PA settings to existing assets

When you change C2PA configuration settings, the new configuration applies only to files that are uploaded or processed after the change. Existing files retain the settings that were applied when they were originally uploaded. This can result in a mix of signed and unsigned files within the same Content Hub environment. To apply the current settings to existing assets, refresh the renditions.

To apply C2PA settings to existing assets:

1.  On the menu bar, click **Assets**.

2.  On the **Assets** page, select the assets for which you want to apply the new C2PA settings.

3.  On the menu bar, click **Actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: > **Refresh renditions**.

4.  On the **Refresh renditions** page, turn off the **Failed only** switch to refresh all renditions.

5. Turn on the **Validate C2PA** switch to validate the content credentials of the original asset and create the C2PA rendition. This option is only available when [C2PA is enabled](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/configure-c2pa-support.html). 

6. Set the remaining options as needed.
