## Updating a workflow using the console
<a name="console-update-workflows"></a>

**Steps to update a workflow**

1. Open the [HealthOmics console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/omics/).

1.  If required, open the left navigation pane (≡). Choose **Private workflows**.

1. On the **Private workflows** page, choose the workflow to update.

1. On the **Workflow** page:
   + If the workflow has versions, make sure that you select the **Default version**.
   + Choose **Edit selected** from the **Actions** list. 

1. On the **Edit workflow** page, you can change any of the following values:
   + **Workflow name**.
   + **Workflow description**.
   + The default **Run storage type** for the workflow.
   + The default **Run storage capacity** (if the run storage type is static storage). For more information about the default run storage configuration, see [Creating a workflow using the console](create-private-workflow.md#console-create-workflows).

1. Choose **Save changes** to apply the changes.

## Updating a workflow using the CLI
<a name="api-update-workflows"></a>

As shown in the following example, you can update the workflow name and description. You can also change the default run storage type (STATIC or DYNAMIC) and run storage capacity (for static storage type). For more information about run storage types, see [Run storage types in HealthOmics workflows](workflows-run-types.md).

```
aws omics update-workflow    \
  --id 1234567    \
  --name my_workflow      \
  --description "updated workflow"    \
  --storage-type 'STATIC'    \
  --storage-capacity 1200
```

You don't receive a response to the `update-workflow` request.

## Updating a workflow using an SDK
<a name="sdk-update-workflows"></a>

You can update a workflow using one of the SDKs.

The following example shows how to update a workflow using the Python SDK

```
import boto3

omics = boto3.client('omics')

response = omics.update_workflow(
   name='my_workflow',
   description='updated workflow'
)
```
