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](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/databases/overview#editions).
* Delete an existing cluster by using the delete option.

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.
