# Update Cron

> **Note:** This SDK is currently in deprecation. Migrate to [JavaScript SDK](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/job-scheduling/cron/update-cron/) now.

The following SDK can be used to update a particular cron's details. You can use this SDK to update the name, description and target. You can select your required cron by passing the [`cron id`](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/cron/key-concepts/#cron-id) to the `getCron()` method, and update the details using the `updateCron()` method.

> **Note:** You can use this method to update details of both [Pre-Defined Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-predefined-cron/) and [Dynamic Crons](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/job-scheduling/help/implementation/submit-job-dynamic-cron/).

```javascript
const cron = await jobScheduling.CRON.getCron('test_cron'); // get cron
cron.cron_name = 'test';
const updatedCronDetailsWithName = await jobScheduling.CRON.updateCron('test_cron', cron); // update cron details with cron name
updatedCronDetailsWithName.cron_name = 'test_new';
const updatedCronDetailsWithId = await jobScheduling.CRON.updateCron('1234567890', updatedCronDetailsWithName); // update cron details with cron id
```
