# Update a space

> Changes the details of a space.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Send every value you want the space to keep, not only the ones that change. Read the space with [Get a space](https://docs.kodelabs.com/products/kode-api/api-reference/spaces/get-a-space.md) and send it back with your changes.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The body must hold the same `buildingId` as the path. Renaming a level to the name of another level in the building fails with `400`.
