	413	+= Page: Update A Page =
	414	+
	415	+We saw code to search a Page, create a Page and get all it's revisions. Now, we move to updating a Page. In our example, we have used the Page called "Update Page" in the "demo code" Space. The basic intent is to get the content first from XWiki. Then add our updated content or "concatenate" new content with the existing content. Then, update the final content back to XWiki. Only the methods of the Page class & the rpc.getPage() & rpc.storePage() would be used here.
	416	+
	417	+{{warning}}
	418	+It is strongly advised that if this is the first time you are using XWiki XMLRPC, go through the examples at the start of this article. Each example tries to build up on the previous one & you would find understanding the API easier.
