# Update Menu

PATCH https://api.gorilladash.com/api/v1/website-content/websites/%7BWEBSITE_ID%7D/menus/%7BMENU_ID%7D
Content-Type: application/json

Partly updates a menu by id. Needs a key with **Website Content: Read and Write** (`website-content:write`).

Only the fields you send change, and every field is optional. `PUT` on the same URL behaves the same way.

Sending `items` replaces the whole tree.
