## Usage

```bash theme={null}
anaconda channel modify <NAME> [OPTIONS]
```

## Description

Modifies channel settings such as privacy and indexing behavior.

You can specify the channel in two ways:

* **Simple name with `--namespace`**: `anaconda channel modify my-channel --namespace my-org`
* **Combined format**: `anaconda channel modify my-org/my-channel`

At least one of `--privacy` or `--indexing-behavior` is required.

### Privacy settings

* `public`: Channel is accessible to anyone
* `private`: Channel is only accessible to authorized users

### Indexing behavior

* `default`: Channel index is updated automatically when packages are added or removed
* `frozen`: Channel index is not updated; useful for creating stable snapshots

## Examples

**Make a channel public**

```bash theme={null}
anaconda channel modify my-channel --namespace my-org --privacy public
```

**Freeze a channel's index**

```bash theme={null}
anaconda channel modify my-org/my-channel --indexing-behavior frozen
```

**Change both privacy and indexing behavior**

```bash theme={null}
anaconda channel modify my-org/my-channel --privacy private --indexing-behavior default
```
