Update Wallet Whitelists

Overview

You can update a wallet whitelist if the wallet policy is unlocked. Polices lock 48 hours from creation. Use this time to test and make changes to the whitelist and the policy. If you need to update a whitelist once the policy locks, request to unlock it by contacting support@bitgo.com.

Prerequisites

1. Update Whitelist

The following example adds an additional address to the whitelist.
