Question from the Terraform : certification training test

What does the `~` symbol mean in front of a resource in a Terraform execution plan?

Easy

In the following excerpt from the execution plan:

  ~ resource "aws_instance" "web" {
        id            = "i-0b938cca79b516e8a"
      ~ instance_type = "t3.micro" -> "t3.small"
        # (38 unchanged attributes hidden)

        # (8 unchanged blocks hidden)
    }

What does the ~ symbol mean in front of the aws_instance.web resource?
