<a name="geospatial-change-hierarchy"></a>

You can change a geospatial hierarchy or grouping that exists in a dataset.

Use the following procedure to edit or disband a geospatial hierarchy.

**To edit or disband a geospatial hierarchy**

1. Open the dataset. In the **Fields** pane, choose the hierarchy name.

1. Choose the ellipsis icon (**...**), then choose one of the following options.

   Choose **Disband hierarchy** to remove the hierarchy from the dataset. You can't undo this operation. However, you can recreate your hierarchy or grouping by starting again at step 1. Disbanding the hierarchy doesn't remove any fields from the dataset.

   Choose **Edit hierarchy** to make changes to the hierarchy. Doing this reopens the creation screens, so you can make different choices in rebuilding your hierarchy.
