I want to remake the tile set for my tilemap, but I'm afraid that if I change the tileset, all my levels will be gone. Will the tiles placed on my tilemap stay if I change the tileset?

The tiles placed on the tilemap will stay if you change the tileset. However, unless you remake the tileset with the exact same indices for each new tile, the tiles will be different tiles.

If you're really worried about losing your data, you can also copy the data for the tilemap directly from the .tscn file.

Thanks for answering! Is it possible to change the index of the tile in the tileset?

Right now that's not possible besides editing the tscn file directly.
