+## Specifying an alternate instance
+
+A currently inserted instance can be replaced with a similar or extended class instance by using the `replace` method. This can then be retrieved by using the original class.
+
+```dart
+class ParentClass {}
+
+class ChildClass extends ParentClass {
+  bool isChild = true;
+}
+
+Get.put(ParentClass());
+
+Get.replace<ParentClass, ChildClass>(ChildClass());
+
+final instance = Get.find<ParentClass>();
+print(instance is ChildClass); //true
+```

 ## Differences between methods
 
 First, let's of the `fenix` of Get.lazyPut and the `permanent` of the other methods.
