typesense

hey folks,
is it possible to edit the schema of an existing collection? or do I have to delete and create a new one?

im still ramping up on typesense but its seems odd to me that if I add a new attribute on Firestore then I cannot edit my schema to include this new attribute :thinking_face:

I'm new to typesense myself, but I think the aliasing is the thing to use so you can create and index the new collection and then switch it to be active

In addition to the above, if you need to regularly add new fields, I’d recommend using auto-schema detection: <https://typesense.org/docs/0.21.0/api/collections.html#create-a-collection|https://typesense.org/docs/0.21.0/api/collections.html#create-a-collection>

We plan to add the ability to change an existing collection’s schema in the release after next 

nice thank you <@U01NZ4D0LDD> <@U02CMGJ84PP>
