I would like to fix some xml files seperated on multiple sites and document libraries in powershell. I have in a csv file the url of all these xml documents. So I already have some loop for each xml path. But how can I modify the content of these xml files? Do I need to download the file, modify it local and upload it again?

Yes, we need to download the XML file and update as per your need then upload back to the same location:

For update sample, you can refer the below PowerShell:

$Path = "\\spsite\sites\subsite\Library\"
$Files = Get-ChildItem $Path | where {$_.extension -eq ".xml"}
foreach($file in $Files){
    $xml = New-Object XML
    $xml.PreserveWhitespace = $true
    $xml.Load($file.fullname)
    $xml.myFields.PhoneNumber = "234-5678"//update your fields on the form
    $xml.Save($file.fullname)
}

OR

If your XML files are relatively smaller in size - then you may use the MemoryStream - MemoryStream sample as below:

$Stream = New-Object System.IO.MemoryStream
$UDCX.Save($Stream)
$document.SaveBinary($Stream.ToArray())
