This endpoint allows you to update the metadata of a document in your vector store. Currently, you can only update the document's name. This is useful for improving document organization and discoverability without needing to re-upload the document.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: This endpoint only updates the document's metadata, not its content. To update the content, you need to delete the existing document and upload a new one.
