swappable

Can be switched

Swappable describes something designed to be exchanged or replaced, typically without disrupting a larger system.

A swappable battery can be removed and replaced quickly.

In computing, hot-swappable components can be changed while the system runs.

The word implies interchangeability and ease of substitution: The modular design keeps all the parts swappable.
