In this example we haven't yet added a cloud provider. Let's add and modify a token for Digital Ocean. First, we click on + Add in th Cloud Credentials section. The same credentials window appears:

Add cloud provider selector

Select your provider, in our case Digital Ocean. The next window prompts us to add a our new cloud credentials. Click Add new cloud credentials.

Choose credentials menu

Since Digital Ocean uses API tokens, you are given the ability to name and add your token. Once you are done, click Next.

You can rename your existing tokens at any time. To do so, click the meatball menu and then click the pencil.

Let's change the name of the token from DigitalOcean Token to Digital Ocean Token. In the prompt that appears, we can do this by just altering the name in the text area:

Change name field

And then click Save. Our token now has the updated name Digital Ocean Token:

If the value of your token itself changes, rather than just updating the name, you will need to add the new credentials separately. If the pre-existing token(s) are now outdated you can delete them. To delete them, instead of clicking the pencil above you click the trash can:

When you click the trash can to delete, you will have a prompt to verify that you are looking to delete that specific token. To confirm, click Remove.
