Adding a new field to an existing embed

I'm currently fetching the message containing the embed I was to edit and then getting the embed, but I can't figure out how to add a field to it without having to resend the entire embed?

const message = await channel.messages.fetch(id);
const originalEmbed = message.embeds[0];

originalEmbed.addFields({ name: 'test', value: 'test' })

const message = await channel.messages.fetch(id);
const originalEmbed = message.embeds[0];

originalEmbed.addFields({ name: 'test', value: 'test' })

Would you mind elaborating? I understand I fetch the message containing the embed, and then edit that message with the new embed. But I don't understand how to add a new field to that existing embed

originalEmbed.addFields({ name: 'test', value: 'test' }) says .addFields isn't a function

That is correct, as message.embeds[0] returns EmbedData. EmbedBuilder.from(message.embeds[0]) would be the way to go.
