# Extend

### **Extend Loan - Action Overview**

The **Extend Loan** action allows users to extend the duration of an existing loan by repaying the current loan and taking out a new one under the same pool conditions.

#### **How It Works**

1. **Select Loan to Extend**:
   * The user first selects the loan they wish to extend from their active debts.
2. **Choose the Extend Option**:
   * Next, the user clicks the **Extend** option, located next to the selected loan's checkbox. This will open a **popup window** where the user can view the loan details.
3. **Adjust Loan Amount and Duration**:
   * In the popup window, the user can:
     * Adjust the loan amount they wish to extend.
     * Change the loan duration (by default, the maximum duration for the pool is selected).
4. **Confirmation**:
   * After making the desired changes, the user confirms the loan extension. Once confirmed, the current loan is repaid, and a new loan is issued with the updated amount and duration.

#### **Main Use Case**

The **Extend Loan** action is primarily used when:

* The user wants to extend the loan duration without changing the collateral or pool conditions.
* The user wishes to delay repayment and take advantage of the maximum available loan duration.

This feature offers a simple way to manage active loans and avoid liquidation by extending the repayment period.
