Some integrations store the IP address of the device, but if for some reason you need to change that IP address, there seems to be no way to update this.
You need to completely remove the device and readd it. Or take the risk and dig around in the internal config files.
For example i changed the host (effectively changed the ip) of my frigate docker container.
Since March this year Home Assistant has the option for developers to implement āReconfigureā where you can update connection paramters.
So now it is up to integration developers to actually implement it for integrations where it makes sense.
Reconfigure is also part of the Gold level in the new integration quality scale that was just introduced, so maybe we start seeing more of it in the near future.

As a user, itās super hard to figure out what is HA Core and what is an integration issue. Add āNot implementedā in core, so it becomes clear who has to move.
