# Update a MongoDB Cluster
You can update an existing MongoDB cluster on any of the following editions: **Playground**, **Business**, or **Enterprise**.
## Edit a Cluster
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** All the available MongoDB clusters that are part of your contract are listed under the **MongoDB Clusters** section on the **Databases** page.
{% endhint %}
1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Databases** > **MongoDB**.
2\. In the **MongoDB cluster overview** window, select the cluster that needs modification using one of these options:
* Click **Edit** in the **OPTIONS** column.
* Alternatively, you can select a cluster from the list by clicking on its name or by selecting **Details** in the **OPTIONS** column.
* Select **Edit** in the **Cluster details** tab.
3\. The **Edit** window displays the details of the cluster. You can edit the following:
{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Playground" %}
* **Properties:** Enter a new name in **Cluster Name** to edit the name of the MongoDB cluster.
* **Edition:** You can upgrade the existing cluster edition from **Playground** to either **Business** or **Enterprise**.
* **Cluster configuration:** The **Database type** is set to **Replica set**. Depending on the edition, you would see the allowed number of **Instances** to choose from. For example, if the existing cluster is updated to **Business** edition and a **MongoDB Business S** template is selected, then, you could choose to edit the number of instances to either one or three instances.
* **Network configuration:** You can add additional private IP addresses from the **IP/Subnet** drop-down list when you increase the number of **Instances** to upgrade the existing **Playground** edition to an another MongoDB edition.
* **Maintenance period (optional):**
* **Day:** From the drop-down list, modify the preferred day on which the maintenance of the cluster must take place.
* **Start Time (UTC):** Choose the appropriate time from the clock displayed.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**
* Database snapshots are not available for clusters in the **Playground** edition. For more information, see [Editions](/cloud/databases/mongodb/overview.md#editions).
* Delete an existing cluster by using the delete option.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Business" %}
* **Properties:** Enter a new name in **Cluster Name** to edit the name of the MongoDB cluster.
* **Edition:** You can upgrade the existing cluster edition from **Business** to another version of **Business** or **Enterprise**.
* **Cluster configuration:** The **Database type** is set to **Replica set**. Depending on the edition, you would see the allowed number of **Instances** to choose from. For example, if the existing cluster is updated to **Business** edition and a **MongoDB Business L** template is selected, then, you could choose to edit the instances to either one or three instances.
* **Network configuration:** You can add additional private IP addresses from the **IP/Subnet** drop-down list when you increase the number of **Instances** to upgrade the existing **Business** edition to an another MongoDB edition.
* **Maintenance period (optional):**
* **Day:** From the drop-down list, modify the preferred day on which the maintenance of the cluster must take place.
* **Start Time (UTC):** Choose the appropriate time from the clock displayed.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**
* Database snapshots are available for clusters in the **Business** edition. In the **Backups** tab, restore the data in the cluster from the selected snapshot. For more information, see [Restore a MongoDB Cluster via the DCD](/cloud/databases/mongodb/how-tos/restore-mongodb-cluster.md).
* Delete an existing cluster by using the delete option. When you delete a cluster, all of its backup data is also immediately deleted.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% tab title="Enterprise" %}
* **Properties:** Enter a new name in **Cluster Name** to edit the name of the MongoDB cluster.
* **Edition:** You can only view the existing cluster edition set as **Enterprise**.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** At this time, it is not possible to downgrade the **Enterprise** edition to any other edition.
{% endhint %}
* **Cluster configuration:**
* The **Database type** can be **Sharded cluster** or **Replica set** based on the value selected during the cluster creation.
* Update the **Amount of shards** as required.
* Select from three, five, or seven **Instances** from the drop-down list to host a logical database manager environment to catalog your databases.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** At this time, downscaling of instances is not supported.
{% endhint %}
* Select a value from the drop-down list to update the offsite **Backup Location** to allow backup data to be stored in a location other than the deployed database cluster. Available backup locations: `Germany/Frankfurt am Main (de)`, `Spaine/Logroño (eu-south-2)`, `Germany/Berlin (eu-central-2)`, and `Germany/Berlin (eu-central-3)`.
* Toggle on or off the **Enable BI Connector**. It is advised to enable the MongoDB Connector for Business Intelligence (BI) to query a MongoDB database by using SQL commands to aid in the data analysis.
* **Resources:**
{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** To scale resources in the **Enterprise** edition, please contact [IONOS CLOUD Support](https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/support/general-information/contact-information) for assistance with this feature.
