Update the connection settings of an existing workspace. You can switch between datasource, datamart, or multi-datasource configurations. Updating a workspace also updates all associated metrics to use the new connection.

Important: Updating a workspace connection will automatically update all metrics in that workspace to use the new datasource or datamart connection. Ensure the new connection has compatible table and column structures to avoid breaking existing metrics.

The workspace name is used to identify which workspace to update and cannot be changed through this endpoint. To rename a workspace, you’ll need to create a new one and migrate your content.
