How to change spells during rest after using them?
Example: I have healing spells, and I want to use up the last of them during the rest to heal the party, but I want to be able to select new spells. Is there any way to do this? As far as I can see, the only way to change out spells it to swap them when not resting, which forces you to rest again if you want to actually get them back.

Go to the spellbook in the character menu and select the character.

Classes that cast spontaneously (bards, sorcerers and magus') don't have to worry about switching spells.

Yes, I know how to change spells. I'm talking about selecting spells for the next rest so you don't have to give up your current spell slots. Like if I want to switch a heal spell to another spell but still want to be able to use the heal spell during the rest.

I don't think you can.

I might be missing something, but why not just cast the healing spells yourself (instead of letting them be autocast during the rest) then switch the spells and take the rest?

Unfortunately, changing spells requires you to focus on those new spells during the entire rest period. It is not possible to cast a cure spell while resting, change it to a different spell in the middle of resting, and then have the new spell ready to go when you are done resting. You would have to rest twice if you wanted to do that.

There is an option before your rest to use "healing spells and abilities before resting" instead of natural resting.
However, i do not know if it takes into account the "turn any spell into healing spell" from priest and such.

Regarding the "Like if I want to switch a heal spell to another spell but still want to be able to use the heal spell during the rest."
You can only use this spell during rest if it was not used. If it was not used, you can cast it manually before resting, and then change this spell slot into another spell before resting.

Either I missed sth, or you misundestand sth about the way spells are used.

Normally, in tabletop pathfinder (and D&D), you pick your spells during daily preparations, which is part of resting. In Kingmaker it seems you have to make those choices before you rest, and just forfeit whatever spells you want to swap out. I wanted to know if there was a way to change spells properly.

Not sure i understood what you described and when occurs "daily preparation" in tabletop.
You do choose the spell before resting in this game.
And when you wrote we "just forfeit whatever spells you want to swap out", i do agree.
But how could you not forfeit them considering you are gonna sleep and not use them anyway even if you not swap ? (and if they are healing spells, they are automatically used then refreshed)
