+
+    In addition to providing the flow id of the flow to edit (through flow_id),
+    you must specify a value for at least one of the optional function arguments,
+    i.e. one value for a field to edit.
+
+    This function allows editing of non-critical fields only.
+    Editable fields are: custom_name, tags, language, description.
+
+    Editing is allowed only for the owner of the flow.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    flow_id : int
+        ID of the flow.
+    custom_name : str, optional
+        Custom name for the flow.
+    tags : list[str], optional
+        Tags to associate with the flow.
+    language : str, optional
+        Language in which the flow is described.
+        Starts with 1 upper case letter, rest lower case, e.g. 'English'.
+    description : str, optional
+        Human-readable description of the flow.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    flow_id : int
+        The ID of the edited flow.
+
+    Raises
+    ------
+    TypeError
+        If flow_id is not an integer.
+    ValueError
+        If no fields are provided for editing.
+    OpenMLServerException
+        If the user is not authorized to edit the flow or if the flow doesn't exist.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> import openml
+    >>> # Edit the custom name of a flow
+    >>> edited_flow_id = openml.flows.edit_flow(123, custom_name="My Custom Flow Name")
