@user83 , not very clear. But if you rename a field in Visualization pane. This will be renamed in that Visual. If you rename it in the table it will be renamed everywhere, where it has the same name.

Yes, just double-click on the field name in the field list of the visuals, and type in the new name that will only be used for that visual. The field name in the field list for all tables will remain unchanged.
