# 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/). 
* 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://divoc.digit.org/platform/configuration/configuration-management-via-etcd/payload-changes-in-the-qr-code.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
