### Examples

### updateFolder
```javascript
import { siteFolders } from '@wix/sites';

async function updateFolder(_id,options) {
  const response = await siteFolders.updateFolder(_id,options);
};
```

### updateFolder (with elevated permissions)
```javascript
import { siteFolders } from '@wix/sites';
import { auth } from '@wix/essentials';

async function myUpdateFolderMethod(_id,options) {
  const elevatedUpdateFolder = auth.elevate(siteFolders.updateFolder);
  const response = await elevatedUpdateFolder(_id,options);

### updateFolder (self-hosted)
Self-hosted SDK calls require you to [create a client](https://dev.wix.com/docs/sdk/articles/work-with-the-sdk/about-the-wix-client.md).

```javascript
import { createClient } from '@wix/sdk';
import { siteFolders } from '@wix/sites';
// Import the auth strategy for the relevant access type
// Import the relevant host module if needed

const myWixClient = createClient ({
  modules: { siteFolders },
  // Include the auth strategy and host as relevant
});


async function updateFolder(_id,options) {
  const response = await myWixClient.siteFolders.updateFolder(_id,options);
};
```
