Lemma 61.31.1. Let \mathit{Sch}_{pro\text{-}\acute{e}tale} be a big pro-étale site as in Definition 61.12.7. Let T \in \mathop{\mathrm{Ob}}\nolimits (\mathit{Sch}_{pro\text{-}\acute{e}tale}). Let \{ T_ i \to T\} _{i \in I} be an arbitrary pro-étale covering of T. There exists a covering \{ U_ j \to T\} _{j \in J} of T in the site \mathit{Sch}_{pro\text{-}\acute{e}tale} which refines \{ T_ i \to T\} _{i \in I}.
Proof. Namely, we first let \{ V_ k \to T\} be a covering as in Lemma 61.13.3. Then the pro-étale coverings \{ T_ i \times _ T V_ k \to V_ k\} can be refined by a finite disjoint open covering V_ k = V_{k, 1} \amalg \ldots \amalg V_{k, n_ k}, see Lemma 61.13.1. Then \{ V_{k, i} \to T\} is a covering of \mathit{Sch}_{pro\text{-}\acute{e}tale} which refines \{ T_ i \to T\} _{i \in I}. \square
