In the case that you would like to restart or reset your SBOM upload via CDX file using the Build API, there is a method that can make this possible. Please note that there is another FAQ available that will allow you to make updates to your SBOM and it can be found [here](https://support.ketryx.com/hc/en-us/articles/35929896326157-How-can-I-update-my-SBOM-that-I-already-uploaded-through-the-Ketryx-Build-API).

Following the instructions of this [FAQ (How can I upload a CycloneDX Artifact through Build API?](https://support.ketryx.com/hc/en-us/articles/34640773879949-How-can-I-upload-a-CycloneDX-Artifact-through-Build-API)), simply use the same **buildName** parameter from the original SBOM upload and upload an empty CDX file using the Build API.

```
{
  "project": "<PROJECTID>",
  "version": "<PROJECTVERSION>",
  "buildName": "<BUILDNAME>",
  "artifacts": [
    {
      "id": "<ARTIFACTID>",
      "type": "cyclonedx-json"
    }
  ]
}
```

The **buildName** can be found in the navigation menu on the left-hand side of Ketryx by selecting History -> Builds (as seen in the screenshot below). Information on Ketryx's Build API can be found [here](https://docs.ketryx.com/api/build-api).

Additionally, by clicking into the hyperlink provided under the Build column, the dependency information present in the Build can be found in the **Dependencies table** (as seen in the screenshot below). The specific file that was uploaded to the Build can be found by clicking on the hyperlink in the ID column of the **Artifacts table**. This information is particularly useful for users to find information about their original SBOM using the Build API.

Note: it’s not possible to remove a build that has already been uploaded, but it's possible to upload a new **empty build** with the **exact same name** to effectively override it.
