There are two ways to create your schema, either using the table UI, or by using the code editor. Let’s explore the table UI first.

Give your table a unique name, and add fields to it. Fields need to have a unique name within each table, and you can use the dropdown to select the type of each field.

Fields can take on the following types: string, number, boolean, json.

You can also edit your schema with the code editor.

Once you’ve added your tables, you can publish your changes. Upon publishing, you’ll notice your version number has been automatically incremented.

You may also discard changes if you’d like to revert to the existing version.
