# Updating Metadata One of the novel features of Opal is the ability to update token metadata within the UI. To accomplish this, users can go to the **Tokens** tab in the sidebar. Upon clicking a token, the user will be redirected to a page with the token's details. There will be dropdown menus under each trait type with the available values for each trait type. These parameters are populated via the uploaded layers. Updating metadata is as simple as clicking the dropdown of interest, changing the value, and hitting **Save**. This action unpins the existing token from IPFS, pins the new token, and updates the row in the Tableland tokens table accordingly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://silika-studio.gitbook.io/opal/user-guide/updating-metadata.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
