How It Works

The update process involves three steps:

1. Fetch the NFT - Get the current NFT data using fetchAsset
2. Prepare update - Specify the new name or URI you want to change
3. Send update - Execute the update transaction

Only the update authority of the NFT can modify it. If the NFT is part of a collection and uses collection authority, you need to be the collection's update authority.
