## 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.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Update Group">
    ```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>
</Tabs>

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.

<Note>
  There is no real-time event listener available to receive updated group details when the `updateGroup()` method is called. To get the latest group information, you need to fetch the group details again using the appropriate method.
