[Site Bug] Issue with the page: /use-timescale/latest/schema-management/alter/

[leppaott]

Use this template for reporting bugs in the docs.

Describe the bug

The page makes it sound like you can just modify a hypertable just like that.

But if your hypertable is compressed, you need to stop the compression job, decompress chunks and disable table compression or otherwise you get:

RRROR: operation not supported on hypertables that have compression enabled

What should the docs say?

Give an example where it's not as simple as modifying. Like for compressed tables give an example migration.
