# Modify Columns

## Overview

The Columns Node allows you to manage your dataset's columns by renaming, removing, and changing the order of columns using a simple drag-and-drop interface.

## **Settings**

The Property Grid visually represents each column in your dataset as a plate displaying the column's name and data type. You can interact with these plates to perform the following actions:

#### **Change Column Order**

To change the order of the columns, click and drag the desired column plate to a new position in the Property Grid. The column will be moved to the new location when you release the mouse button.

#### **Rename Column**

To rename a column, click the pencil icon on the column plate or double-click the column name. This will make the column name editable. Type in the new column name, press Enter or click outside the input box to confirm the change.

#### **Remove Column**

Click the Trash icon on the column plate to remove a column from the dataset.
