# Rebalance a position

> Replace a complete position with a new range in one Shield transaction.

**Rebalance** removes the complete current position and creates its replacement in one atomic Shield transaction.

Use **Increase** when you want to keep the current range. Use **Decrease** when you only want to reduce liquidity.

<Note>
  The app shows **Rebalance** only when the selected network has a compatible live rebalance router.
</Note>

## Rebalance flow

1. Open a pool and find a position that has liquidity under **Your Positions**.
2. Select **Manage** in that position row, then select **Rebalance** from the menu.
3. Keep **Current range**, or select **Custom**.
4. For a custom range, use a preset or enter new minimum and maximum prices.
5. Review the prefilled position funds.
6. Increase a token amount if you want to add funds from Shield Wallet.
7. Select **Review Rebalance** and confirm the transaction.

The custom range chart shows the current range and the proposed range. The entered amounts cannot be less than the funds recovered from the current position.

## Review values

| Item                    | Meaning                                                                              |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Position funds          | Principal, accrued fees, and stored owed amounts recovered from the current position |
| New position            | Amounts that the replacement position will use                                       |
| Additional funding used | Extra Shield Wallet funds required for the replacement                               |
| Unused funding          | Entered wallet funds that the transaction will not spend                             |
| Refund                  | Recovered position funds that the replacement will not use                           |

Unused funding remains in the connected wallet. A nonzero refund goes to the current position's immutable withdrawal address.

## Result

Rebalance keeps the same pool and immutable withdrawal address. It removes the old position ID and creates a new position ID.

The signer owns the new `PositionNFT`. The replacement position remains confidential under the same record model as a new position.

The operation does not swap assets. A failed transaction leaves the old position unchanged.

If pool state changes before confirmation, the app requires another review. Confirm the updated range and amounts before you continue.
