# datavolume
The edit datavolume command allows you to modify the configuration of an existing Data Volume (DV) in your Kubernetes cluster. You can update metadata, storage capacity, access modes, and other properties as needed, though some changes may be restricted by cluster policies or storage provider limitations.
## Usage
```
cldkctl edit datavolume [name] [flags]
```
## Steps
Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:
1. Run the following command in your terminal:
```
cldkctl edit datavolume [datavolume name]
```
2. Replace `[datavolume name]` with the name of the Data Volume you want to modify.
3. If the Data Volume is in a namespace other than default, add the `-n` or `--namespace` flag followed by the namespace name.
4. To view the list of available resources before editing, refer to the corresponding **get datavolume** section.
5. The Data Volume manifest file will open in your default text editor (default: vim). Edit the configuration as needed, then save and close the editor to apply the changes. If you are using vim, press i to enter insert mode and make your edits. When you have finished editing, press Esc, type :wq, and press Enter to save and exit. To exit without saving changes, type :q! and press Enter.
6. Once completed successfully, a message “✓ DataVolume updated” will appear in your terminal.
