You can view and edit the configuration that was used to create a configured API. For example, you can edit the name of the configured API, select a different branch in the GitHub repository that contains the API documents, or upload new API documents for the API to Tanzu Service Mesh.
The ability to edit the configuration of a configured API is useful in certain scenarios. For example, when you were creating a configured API, you selected the No API Documents option because your team was just setting up a GitHub repository so they did not have any API documents stored there then. After the repository has been set up, and the appropriate API documents have been added, you edit the API configuration to upload the documents to Tanzu Service Mesh. As a result, Tanzu Service Mesh will read the documents and create an API specification based on them.
