{% hint style="info" %}
**If you reduce the amount allocated**, then the undistributed rewards are reduced in proportion.  For example, if you'd allocated 1000 MATIC and there are 5 MATIC of rewards that are undistributed, changing the amount to 500 MATIC reduces the Undistributed Rewards to 2.5 MATIC.

**If you increase the amount allocated**, the vault treats the additional amount as a new allocation.  For example, if you'd allocated 1000 MATIC and there are 5 MATIC of rewards yet to be distributed, increasing the amount to 1500 MATIC is the same as adding a new allocation for 500 MATIC starting now.  Rewards in the future will be the 5 MATIC earned up until now plus the rewards now accruing from staking 1500 MATIC.
{% endhint %}

## Deleting an Allocation

You can also delete an allocation completely by clicking on the  icon on the <mark style="color:green;">**Actions**</mark> button far right of the row, and selecting <mark style="color:green;">**Delete allocation**</mark>

After checking the details in the popup, clicking <mark style="color:green;">**Confirm**</mark> deletes the allocation.  Any undistributed rewards will not be distributed.
