Hi - is thre a way to update my schema via the terminal or python script? the browser freezes

It can be done via curl or the Python client as well: 

<https://typesense.org/docs/29.0/api/collections.html#update-or-alter-a-collection|https://typesense.org/docs/29.0/api/collections.html#update-or-alter-a-collection>

from memory, if i dont define a field, i can still add it in right? It'll still be stored?

It will be stored on disk, so you won't be able to search against it, but it will be returned when there's a match

*if i were to import an object with a field not defined in the schema

would i be able to update the schema later to make that field searchable?

Hi - I forgot to index a field. It now says I can't index it, I need to drop it and recreate it... this means i'll lose all of the data for that field?
