This article explains how to edit the field configuration on an entity type in Content. You can specify which fields are required for entities of a certain type, which fields are visible when adding new entities, and which sections and fields will display for each entity type.
For more information on adding field sections on entity types and adding fields to sections, see Create and Organize Field Sections.
To customize entity field configurations:
- Click Content in the navigation bar and click Configuration.
- Click Entity Types.
- Click View Details next to the desired entity type.
- Click on the Fields tab.
Edit Required and Visible on Add Fields
- To make a field required on the entity type, select the checkbox in the Required column.
- To make a field visible when manually adding a new entity of this type, select the checkbox in the Visible On Add column.
Rename and Reorder Field Sections
- Hover over the section in the left sidebar you would like to rename and click on the pencil icon.
- Enter a new name in the text box.
-
(Optional) Add Translation
- To add a translation for the section or other eligible text fields, click on the + Add translation link. A dialog box appears. Select the language of the translation from the drop-down menu, and enter the translation into the text box. Then click Save or Save & Add Another.
- Click Save.
- To reorder a section, hover over the desired section in the left sidebar. Click on the six-dot icon to the left of the section and drag to the desired position.
Remove a Field Section
-
Hover over the section in the left sidebar you would like to remove and click on the trash can icon. Select your desired option:
-
Delete Section & move all fields.
-
-
Delete Section, delete fields that can be deleted, & move fields that cannot be deleted.
-
-
Delete Section & remove fields from Entity Type.
- Note: This option only appears if all fields in the section can be deleted.
-
Delete Section & move all fields.
- Click Confirm.
Note: If the last section is removed from an entity type, fields that cannot be removed will be moved to the Other Fields section. Fields that can be removed from the entity type can either be moved to Other Fields or be removed entirely.

Hi Help Center team! There is no "configuration" sub-tab under the Knowledge Graph tab in any accounts I've checked. I was able to edit the field configuration in Account Settings > Manage Entity Types. Can you please revise and update this article?
