### Updating Records

Records can be updated using the `update` method on a table:

PUT will perform a destructive update and clear all unspecified cell values.
```ruby
@record[:email] = "sarahjaine@updated.com"
@table.update(record)
# => #<Airtable::Record :name=>"", :email=>"sarahjaine@updated.com", :id=>"rec03sKOVIzU65eV4">
```

Records can be updated using the `update_record_fields` method on a table:
PATCH only update the fields you specify, leaving the rest as they were
```ruby
@single_record_update = {email: "sarahjaine@updated.com"}
@table.update_record_fields(record.id, @single_record_update)
# => #<Airtable::Record :name=>"Sarah Jaine", :email=>"sarahjaine@updated.com", :id=>"rec03sKOVIzU65eV4">
