Change your service's backing repo or image in the Render Dashboard

You can now change an existing service's backing Git repository or Docker image in the Render Dashboard. Previously, these changes required the Render API.

1. In the Render Dashboard, open your service's Settings page.

2. Under Build > Source, click Edit:

   The Update Source dialog appears.

3. Select a new build source.

4. If you're using a Git repo, confirm the Runtime, Build Command, and Start Command to use:

   (For static sites, you specify your content's Publish Directory instead of a start command.)

5. Submit your changes.

Render automatically triggers a deploy using the new backing source.

Note that you cannot change an existing service's type (between web service, static site, and so on).
