# Update Session

> Update session details using the Stytch React SDK

Hydrate a front-end session with a member's session tokens from your backend.

If you log a member in with one of our backend SDKs, you can pass the resulting `session_token` and `session_jwt` to this method to prime the frontend SDK with a valid set of tokens. Then, make a [Session Authenticate](./authenticate-session) call to authenticate the session tokens and retrieve the user's current session.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="options" type="object" required>
  An object containing the session tokens to update the front-end session.

  <Expandable title="properties">
    <ParamField path="session_token" type="string" required>
      The `session_token` returned from a backend SDK login or session creation method.
    </ParamField>

    <ParamField path="session_jwt" type="string">
      The `session_jwt` returned from a backend SDK login or session creation method.
    </ParamField>
  </Expandable>
</ParamField>
