# Increase Liquidity (v3) (/docs/protocols/v3/guides/managing-liquidity/increase-liquidity)

Increase an existing Uniswap v3 position using PositionManager while preserving the position range.

## Increase Liquidity Within the Current Range
Make sure to go through the [first guide](/docs/protocols/v3/guides/managing-liquidity/getting-started) before continuing to this section

* This example assumes the contract already has custody of the NFT.

* We cannot change the boundaries of a given liquidity position using the Uniswap v3 protocol; `increaseLiquidity` can only increase the liquidity of a position.

* In production, `amount0Min` and `amount1Min` should be adjusted to create slippage protections.
