# How to rename columns in Cascade

Renaming fields in Cascade is a straightforward process that can help make data more legible and easier to understand. The [Edit Columns](/cascade/tools/transform/editcolumns.md) tool makes this process simple. To get started, open the tool's configuration panel and click on the "[Name](/cascade/tools/transform/editcolumns.md#rename-and-retype)" field. Here, you can type in a new header name that better reflects the data.

One of the most useful features of Cascade is the ability to track and undo your changes. This means that the original column header will appear beneath the new header you've configured. If needed, you can select "Revert" to replace the new header with the old one.
