# Update a service

## Change simulations

You can update your service to use a different simulation stored in your account.

Go to service detail pages, and select the simulation name from the dropdown.

Hoverfly Cloud will take care of updating the simulations in the service.

## View and edit running simulations

Click on the simulation link to view the simulations loaded in the service.

You can make change to it using the editor, and click “Apply changes” to make your change effective.

## Export running simulations

You can also export the simulation in an active service for future sharing or reuse, especially the simulations are created via capturing.

Click on the dropdown menu in the toolbar and select “Export simulation as new\...”, it will prompt you for the simulation name.

## 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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cloud.hoverfly.io/work-with-services/update-a-service.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
