Is it possible to update an existing App Spec file in the App Platform

If I created a web service + static site with the App Platform, am I able to go into an existing app, and update the App Spec file using doctl?

This will update the app spec:

doctl apps update <app id> --spec .do/app.yaml

Find the app id first via doctl apps list.

Hello,

Yes, you can always update the App spec. But please ensure to do that only using the API or CLI (doctl). Refer to below link for more insights:

Hope this helps!
