To update documents of a collection, you can use collection.updateOne() or collection.updateMany() methods to update one or multiple documents.

database.collection("sampleCollection").updateOne(query,updates, function(error, result) {
   if (error) throw error;
   console.log(''Document Updated'');
});
database.collection("sampleCollection").updateMany(query,updates, function(error, result) {
   if (error) throw error;
   console.log(result.result.nModified + " document(s) updated");
});
