# destination path
As we know, in Redux, the state is represented as a **tree** or a **JSON** object. At times, it becomes necessary to modify a nested object or a **leaf** in the tree. In order to achieve this, a **destination path** is provided, which points to the specific object that needs to be modified.
#### 1. We will utilize the symbol **>** to indicate the specific object we intend to modify.
For example: we want to modify the **`name`** inside **`company`** inside the **`User`**. We have to write a path to go to that named object.
In this case, we use `>` symbol to point out
```javascript
User>company>name
```
In order to see how to use the **Destination Path**, we can examine an example of an insert function where we aim to insert an object into a leaf node of the tree.
**Example of using *****Destination Path***
I want to [insert ](/no-reducer/no-reducer-actions/insert.md)`{ gps: {x,y,z} }` into `User>address>geo`
```javascript
dispatch(insert('User>address>geo', gps', {x,y,z});
```
#### 2. If you want to traverse an item in an array, you can use the symbol | \[key]=\[value] to specify the particular object that you want to modify.
Update `companies` with `cid=5` in `students` with `id=4` in `MyClass`
```javascript
dispatch(update('MyClass>students|id=4>companies', { name: "Meta" }, 5, 'cid'))
```
