## update
```markdown
Usage: docker node update [OPTIONS] NODE
Update a node
Options:
--availability string Availability of the node (active/pause/drain)
--help Print usage
--label-add value Add or update a node label (key=value) (default [])
--label-rm value Remove a node label if exists (default [])
--role string Role of the node (worker/manager)
```
### Add label metadata to a node
Add metadata to a swarm node using node labels. You can specify a node label as
a key with an empty value:
``` bash
$ docker node update --label-add foo worker1
```
To add multiple labels to a node, pass the `--label-add` flag for each label:
``` bash
$ docker node update --label-add foo --label-add bar worker1
```
When you [create a service](service_create.md),
you can use node labels as a constraint. A constraint limits the nodes where the
scheduler deploys tasks for a service.
For example, to add a `type` label to identify nodes where the scheduler should
deploy message queue service tasks:
``` bash
$ docker node update --label-add type=queue worker1
```
The labels you set for nodes using `docker node update` apply only to the node
entity within the swarm. Do not confuse them with the docker daemon labels for
[dockerd]( ../../userguide/labels-custom-metadata.md#daemon-labels).
For more information about labels, refer to [apply custom
metadata](../../userguide/labels-custom-metadata.md).
