# Update a Notebook Instance


After you create a notebook instance, you can update it using the SageMaker AI console and [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateNotebookInstance.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateNotebookInstance.html) API operation.

You can update the tags of a notebook instance that is `InService`. To update any other attribute of a notebook instance, its status must be `Stopped`.
