Replaces the component's name, description and draft body with the ones you send. Published versions are untouched: the edit reaches pipelines only once you publish it as a new version, so it cannot break one. Maintainers and above; the new name must not be taken by another component here.
Parameters

- expanded_node_countinteger · int320–∞How many steps the version expands into.
- lifecycle_stateComponentLifecycleStateactivedeprecatedsunsetWhere a published version sits in its retirement. A
deprecatedversion still resolves for an exact reference and still runs, but no floating reference selects it — which is what makes deprecating the safe way to retire one. Asunsetversion refuses to resolve at all, exact reference included. - published_atstring

- avatar_urlstring or nulloptional
- variable_requirementsarray of EnvironmentVariableName (string)The variables the version's steps read from the pipeline that uses it. Each must be declared on the environment those steps run in, or on a group or repository above the pipeline, or a run is refused when it starts.
