# Manage Column Descriptions and Tags

Edit column descriptions and column tags

The columns tab provides information about the columns within the data source, including column names and value types.

As a data owner, you can manage column descriptions and tags.

## Manage column descriptions

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Deprecation notice**

Support for this feature has been deprecated and is only available if your data sources were onboarded using a legacy [data registration method](/latest/configuration/integrations/registering-metadata/data-sources/register-data-sources.md). Column descriptions of data sources onboarded through connections cannot be edited because they are automatically generated based on information from your data platform.
{% endhint %}

1. Navigate to the **Columns** tab.
2. To add or edit column descriptions, click the **overflow menu** in the entry you want to change and select **Edit description**.
3. Complete the fields in the form that appears, and then click **Save**.

## Manage column tags

To add column tags,

1. Navigate to the **Columns** tab.

## 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://documentation.immuta.com/latest/configuration/integrations/registering-metadata/data-sources/data-source-settings/how-to-guides/manage-dictionary.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.
