Scaleway Object Storage offers several [storage classes](/object-storage/concepts/#storage-class) to choose from depending on the performance, access, resiliency, and cost requirements of your workloads. The [Scaleway console](https://console/) allows you to edit the storage class of objects individually.

<Message type="note">
To change the storage class of several or all objects in a bucket, create a [lifecycle rule](/object-storage/how-to/manage-lifecycle-rules/).
</Message>

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)

- An [Object Storage bucket](/object-storage/how-to/create-a-bucket/)

1. Click **Object Storage** in the **Storage** section of the side menu. The list of your buckets displays.
2. Click the name of the bucket containing the object you want to edit. The list of objects displays.
3. Click <Icon name="more" /> next to the object that you want to transfer to another storage class. A pop-up displays.

    <Message type="important">
      If you transfer objects to `Glacier` class, you might have to restore your data at a later date. To facilitate the steps of restoration and ensure fast restitution of your data, we recommend you use average-sized files (larger than 1 MB).

6. Click **Save settings** to confirm.

The new storage class of your object displays next to its name.
