revamp

Give new life

To revamp something is to renovate or overhaul it, giving it a fresh appearance or improved function: The restaurant revamped its menu, They're revamping the website.

The word carries a sense of significant updating rather than minor tweaks—you revamp something that's become outdated or stale.

As a noun, a revamp is such an overhaul: The show is back after a complete revamp.
