+## Example - Republishing an existing IPNS record
+
+The `republishRecord` method allows you to republish an existing IPNS record without
+needing the private key. This is useful for relay nodes or when you want to extend
+the availability of a record that was created elsewhere.
+
+```TypeScript
+import { createHelia } from 'helia'
+import { ipns } from '@helia/ipns'
+import { createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient } from '@helia/delegated-routing-v1-http-api-client'
+import { CID } from 'multiformats/cid'
+
+const helia = await createHelia()
+const name = ipns(helia)
+
+const ipnsName = 'k51qzi5uqu5dktsyfv7xz8h631pri4ct7osmb43nibxiojpttxzoft6hdyyzg4'
+const parsedCid: CID<unknown, 114, 0 | 18, 1> = CID.parse(ipnsName)
+const delegatedClient = createDelegatedRoutingV1HttpApiClient('https://delegated-ipfs.dev')
+const record = await delegatedClient.getIPNS(parsedCid)
+
+await name.republishRecord(ipnsName, record)
+```
