# Change a saved view

`PATCH https://your-suite.gtable.app/your-app/v1/views/{viewId}`

Only a view that is yours.

> **Note: Generic contract**
>
> Your own version of this operation, with your tables and the fields you can read, is in
> your app's document: `https://{suite}.gtable.app/{app}/v1/openapi.json`, behind your credential.
> [Why each person gets their own](/docs/start/studio-and-runtime#why-an-app-has-an-api-of-its-own).

`config` merges shallowly: a key you send replaces that key, anything you leave out keeps its saved value.

Requires the `records:write` scope. Operation `views.update`. MCP tool `views_update`. CLI, once published: `gtable views update`.
