Is there a workflow documented for adding a field to an already published parcel fabric?

I want to add a new field to the parcel fabric but I'm not sure what's steps are needed in order to do so. Do I just need to stop the service, add the field in the enterprise geodatabase version, and then republish? Is that it?

Hello,

Adding a new field to a published feature class will require a few things. These can be done through the server manager web page.

Uncheck the Lock Database Schema option. Go to your service and then the Parameters section.
Click Save and Restart (this is a service level change and requires a restart)
Go to your feature class and add/update any fields or any other type of schema change needed.
Add the parcel fabric to a map and go to Share > Overwrite Existing Service
Once the service is finished overwriting, go back to the Parameters page and check back on the Lock Database Schema option.
Save and Restart the service again.

Adding a new field(s) and adding new parcel types to a parcel fabric is considered a schema change and requires the service to be republished or overwritten. Changes to service options such as adding capabilities or in this case unlocking the schema are considered service level changes and only require restarting.
