# Update A Group

## Update Group

*In other words, as a group owner, how can I update the group details?*

You can update the existing details of the group using the `updateGroup()` method.

    ```javascript theme={null}
    var GUID = "GUID";
    var groupName = "Hello Group";
    var groupType = CometChat.GROUP_TYPE.PUBLIC;
    var group = new CometChat.Group(GUID, groupName, groupType);

    CometChat.updateGroup(group).then(
    group => {
      console.log("Groups details updated successfully:", group);
    }, error => {
      console.log("Group details update failed with exception:", error);
    }
    );
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="TypeScript">
    ```typescript theme={null}
    var GUID: string = "GUID";
    var groupName: string = "Hello Group!";
    var groupType: string = CometChat.GROUP_TYPE.PUBLIC;

    var group: CometChat.Group = new CometChat.Group(GUID, groupName, groupType);

    CometChat.updateGroup(group).then(
      (group: CometChat.Group) => {
          console.log("Group details updated successfully:", group);
      }, (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
          console.log("Group details update failed with exception:", error);
      }
    );
    ```

This method takes an instance of the `Group` class as a parameter which should contain the data that you wish to update.

| Parameter | Description                  |
| --------- | ---------------------------- |
| `group`   | an instance of class `Group` |

After a successful update of the group, you will receive an instance of `Group` class containing update information of the group.
