From the processing point of view, when you change the URL, Pi-hole sees a completely new list.

Everything related to the old URL will change. Gravity update will overwrite the old list contents anyway, so there is zero gain compared to create a new entry.

From the group management point of view:

If you want to change the URL for different lists, with different comments and different group assignment, you would need to change them manually, one by one, even if there was a way to do it via web interface.

On the other hand, if you want to replace the URL for just one list _(or for multiple lists with the same comment and assigned to the same groups)_, the job is easy:

1. type the new URL (or multiple URLs, separated by spaces);
2. type the comment (the comment will be the same for every list);
3. select all groups (selected groups will be assigned to all lists);
4. Click on the button to add them.
