# Update import mapping

When you update your import mapping, Channable checks if any new fields have not been imported and adds them to the existing mapping. This is necessary when you have added new fields to your import that do not appear in the mapping automatically. Channable will also remove fields that are no longer in your import.

To update the mapping of your import feed, follow these steps:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Navigate to the import settings

Go to **Setup > Import**. Locate the import you want to update and go to **Settings**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Update mapping

Click the <i class="fa-gear">:gear:</i> gear icon and select **Update mapping** in the dropdown.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: Updating the import mapping will **not** remove any fields you added manually or change any other configuration you previously made in the Edit mapping tab of your import.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/import-data/import-concepts/import-fields/update-import-mapping.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
