# Can I rebalance funds from one channel to another?

Alby Hub lets you rebalance the bitcoin in your channels, allowing you to distribute funds across them more effectively. For example, you can increase the receiving capacity of one channel by moving bitcoin to another channel with less bitcoin.

{% hint style="info" %}
[Swaps](https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-hub/node/swap-in-and-out) are a recommended alternative to rebalancing.
{% endhint %}

### How to rebalance your channels

Open **Alby Hub** -> **Node** page -> press the **3 dots** -> click the "**Rebalance In**" option.

Press "**Confirm**" and wait for the payment to complete.

The swap service is powered by Megalith LSP and is currently in beta. Currently, you can only choose the channel to rebalance in. If you find this service useful, let us know!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://guides.getalby.com/user-guide/alby-hub/faq/can-i-rebalance-funds-from-one-channel-to-another.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
