Use the multi-field editor in NocoDB to add, edit, delete, reorder, and hide many fields of a table at one time.

The multi-field editor in NocoDB lets you manage all fields of a table in one place. Use it to add, change, rename, reorder, or hide fields. It is useful when you create a new table structure or change an existing one.

## Accessing the Multi-Field Editor

1. Open the table that you want to edit.
2. In the toolbar, click `Tools`.
3. Select `Manage fields`.

## Adding fields

On the Multi-field editor page:

1. Click `New field`, or press `Alt` `C`.
2. Enter the field name.
3. Select the field type.
4. Set the default value (optional). The field shows at the end of the list, marked `New field`. You can reorder it from there. You can add and update more fields before you save.
5. Click `Save changes`, or press `Cmd` `S`. The changes are applied.
