+===== Example with index setup

+The put mapping API requires an existing index. The following
+<<indices-create-index, create index>> API request creates the `publications`
+index with no mapping.

+PUT /publications

+// CONSOLE

+The following put mapping API request adds `title`, a new <<text,`text`>> field,
+to the `publications` index.

 The PUT mapping API can be applied to multiple indices with a single request.
 For example, we can update the `twitter-1` and `twitter-2` mappings at the same time:
