reconfiguration
Changing the setup
Reconfiguration is the act of arranging something in a new way.
The word appears most often in technical contexts—reconfiguring software settings, network architecture, or mechanical systems: The reconfiguration of the server took three hours.
More broadly, any restructuring or reorganization qualifies: a reconfiguration of political alliances, the reconfiguration of office space for remote work.
