# Managing Document Field Layouts

You can manage the order of fields and field sections on the Doc Info page from the **Field Layout** page. Note that you must assign document fields to specific layout sections in the **Document Fields** area.

## Accessing Field Layout Options

You can find field layout options in **Admin > Configuration > Field Layout**. You must have a security profile that grants **Field Layouts** permissions to modify these options.

## Section Order

All document relationship types are displayed alphabetically on the Doc Info page according to the _Relationships_ section's placement on the **Field Layout** page.

## How to Create New Sections

To create a new section:

  1. Click **Create**.
  2. In the dialog, enter a **Section Label**. This label appears in the Doc Info page's fields panel. While you can create multiple sections with the same label, Vault assigns each section a unique _Name_.
  3. Click **Save**.

## How to Reorder Sections {#reorder}

To reorder field layout sections:

  1. Click **Reorder**.
  2. Drag and drop the sections until they are arranged appropriately.
  3. Click **Save**.

## How to Reorder Fields in Sections

To modify the order of fields that appear in the section:

  1. Click on the section name to open the details page.
  2. Click **Edit**.
  3. Drag and drop the fields into the appropriate order.
  4. Click **Save**.

System-managed sections, such as the _Relationships_ and _Lifecycle Details_ sections, are not editable. The _Classification_ (`classification__v`) and _Subtype_ (`subtype__v`) fields can be separated within a section in the editor, however, when the document is displayed these fields will always appear together.

## How to Rename Sections

To rename a field layout section:

  1. Click on the section name to open the details page.
  2. Click **Edit**.
  3. Enter a new **Label** for the section.
  4. Click **Save**.

<div class="note-border alert-info">
  <div class="alert alert-info" role="alert">
    <div><i class="far fa-info-circle"></i></div>
    <div class="alert-text">
      <p><strong>Note</strong>: Renaming a section may impact future features. Sometimes, features include one or more new fields. If you’ve renamed the layout section that Vault would automatically assign these fields to, Vault instead assigns the fields to the first available section.</p>
    </div>
  </div>

## Field Layout Fields

Note that the _External ID_ (`external_id__v`) field is not displayed to users on the <a href="/en/gr/9753/">Doc Info page</a> even if you add it to a _Field Layout_.
