swapping out

Exchanging for another

Swapping out means replacing one thing with another, typically temporarily or as part of rotation: We're swapping out the old servers this weekend, She swapped out the battery for a fresh one.

The phrase emphasizes removal of the original item, distinguishing it from simply adding something new.
