You can replace an existing record while using simple and regarding-type lookups. Search for a record. Then select the record, and replace it with a new record.

### Change a view in a lookup field
79+

Selecting **Change View** lets you determine:

- How you want to view records such as **Contacts Being Followed**, **Contacts Lookup View**, or **Active Contacts**.
82+

To view all records, select the number. The following images show the difference between collapsed and non-collapsed fields.
