Update it employing natural ability (8)
I believe the answer is:
aptitude
'natural ability' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'update it employing' is the wordplay.
'employing' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'changing up' mean this).
'update'+'it'='updateit'
'updateit' with letters rearranged gives 'APTITUDE'.
(Other definitions for aptitude that I've seen before include "Inherent ability, natural talent" , "A natural talent or skill, for which there may be a test" , "fitness" , "Update it, having a relevant talent" , "capacity" .)
