## Partial updates with `PATCH` { #partial-updates-with-patch }

You can also use the <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/PATCH" class="external-link" target="_blank">HTTP `PATCH`</a> operation to *partially* update data.

This means that you can send only the data that you want to update, leaving the rest intact.

/// note

`PATCH` is less commonly used and known than `PUT`.
