Updates an existing quote based on the details provided in the request body.
Before using this endpoint to update a quote, review the following considerations:
* None of the fields in the body are required for a successful response. This means that you can use this endpoint to update a single field or a subset of fields.
* When adding or updating line items, you must include all existing line items that you want to keep in the quote. Omitting existing line items from a quote will remove them from the quote when you send the request.
* If you add products or change discounts, you must also update the `grandTotal` and `subtotal` fields to reflect the new totals.
* You cannot use this endpoint to change the sales rep or Company account assigned to an existing quote.
* To update a quote’s shipping rate, use the [Select a Shipping Rate for a Quote](#select-a-shipping-rate-for-quote) endpoint.
See [Create a Quote](#create-a-quote) for experience- and setting-specific requirements related to adding custom shipping or non-purchasable products to a quote.
## Archiving a quote
You can use this endpoint to archive a quote by including `"status": "archived"` in the request body. Archiving hides the quote from the Buyer Portal and prevents it from being purchased.
* A quote in any status can be archived.
