## Edit a field in Catalog
  
You can edit existing fields in a catalog. The changes take effect immediately.
  
You cannot edit predefined fields. You can edit only custom fields.
  
Lookups are performed based on the ID of the field. So, when you edit a field that is being used in end user communication, the changes are applied to that communication, without any negative impact. Example: If you update the field name from 'Brand' to 'Model', the new field name is automatically updated in the flow in Moments.
