Field sections are used to organize the fields that appear on the Entity Edit screen for all entities of the same entity type. In addition to the built-in field sections on an entity type, you can create new sections, move fields between sections, and add section dividers.

For more information on editing sections within each entity type, see Customize Entity Type Field Configurations.

Considerations for Translated Fields

By default, each entity type has a standardized field configuration (the "default presentation"). If you have users on your Yext account using the platform in multiple languages, the default field presentation will be translated automatically.

If you modify the default presentation (e.g., renaming a section header, or adding your own translations for a field), your field configuration for that entity type will no longer adhere to the default presentation. This means that you will need to add your own translations for section headers and fields if you want to view this content in different languages.

Making changes to the default field presentation will display the following warning:
