# Payload Changes in the QR Code

* DIVOC certificates are natively digital, verifiable, digitally signed, and also printable with a secure and tamper-proof [**QR code**](/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/what-information-goes-into-a-qr-code.md)**.**
* The QR [**payload**](/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/divocs-native-covid-19-certificate-specification.md) structure is based on the [**W3C verifiable credentials data model**](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/).&#x20;
* Previously, any changes in the QR payload required changing it in the certificate-signer service and subsequent deployment.
* With DIVOC 2.0, QR payload changes can now be made by changing it in etcd without any deployments.
* Currently, only the optional fields that already exist can be removed. New fields cannot be added as of now.
* Note: Do not remove the [**mandatory**](/platform/divocs-verifiable-certificate-features-2.0/what-information-goes-into-a-qr-code.md) fields.

### Steps to remove an optional field:

* Go to DDCC\_TEMPLATE. Click on the Edit key if you want to remove an optional field.
* Click on Save. A popup will appear as “operation successful.” Click on Close.
