 To use `ALTER FULLTEXT CATALOG ... AS DEFAULT`, you need `ALTER` permission on the full-text catalog, and `CREATE FULLTEXT CATALOG` permission on the database.
 
+## Remarks
+
+When you run a `REBUILD` operation on a full-text catalog, the rebuild operation pauses if another session has an open transaction that's running `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE` operations on tables that belong to that catalog. The rebuild operation resumes only after that other transaction commits or rolls back. You can monitor this situation by using the [sys.dm_exec_requests](../../relational-databases/system-dynamic-management-views/sys-dm-exec-requests-transact-sql.md) and [sys.dm_exec_sessions](../../relational-databases/system-dynamic-management-views/sys-dm-exec-sessions-transact-sql.md) dynamic management views (DMVs). You might see locks between the user session and the background rebuild sessions, with a wait type of `LCK_M_IS`.
+
+Similarly, during a `REORGANIZE` operation, you might see the `FT_MASTER_MERGE` wait type in the session where the command is running. This wait type can occur when other sessions have long-running transactions that are doing `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, or `DELETE` operations on tables in the same full-text catalog. In the `sys.dm_exec_requests` and `sys.dm_exec_sessions` DMVs, you might see one or more background sessions with a `LCK_M_IX` wait type and the `FT_MASTER_MERGE` command. The `REORGANIZE` operation doesn't complete until those locks are released.
+
+The following query returns blocked background sessions.
+
+```sql
+SELECT r1.session_id,
+       r1.blocking_session_id,
+       r1.wait_type,
