How to change the description of custom AWS IAM policy?

I have a custom policy in AWS IAM. I would like to change its description, not its name. How can I do that?

I've tried editing the policy, but that only changes how it works (e.g., assigning privileges). I don't see how to change the description.

From CreatePolicy documentation:

Description: A friendly description of the policy.

The policy description is immutable. After a value is assigned, it cannot be changed.

Therefore, you'll need to delete it and recreate it to modify the Description.
