I assume that would be the case for updating arrays as well, correct? I=20
have a user document with a Roles array on it that I want to update if the=
=20
role name changes. Do I need to just load each user, find the role, change=
=20
it, and store it for each user? Or is there a way to use the patching API=
=20
for this?

Here's my user document:
{
name: "username",
...,
roles: [
{id:"roles/1",name:"role1"},
{id:"roles/2",name:"role2"}
]
}

I'm only just getting started with Raven, so let me know if I'm structuring=
=20
this wrong.
