# Cell editing

First, [connect to an existing schema or create one](/inputtables/getting-started/create-or-connect-to-schema.md). Then, [create the columns](/inputtables/getting-started/configure-cell-editing.md) for your use case and start using InputTables. Now you are ready to start editing your data. 

### Editing data

All columns that are configured to be editable and visible can be double clicked. Then an input field will show.&#x20;

### Multi select

To update multiple cells at a time, select more cells by clicking and dragging the mouse over the cells. Hit enter to start editing. Note that this only works for fields with the same data type.

#### **Note:** *To stop editing, hit Escape. If you want to confirm your change and store it, hit Enter.*

### Deleting data

You can use the '**Reset** **value**' option from the context menu. Right click on a cell to open the context menu. If it is a WriteBackExtreme only column, like a new column that is not already part of your datasheet, then it will show null. But for a merge column, for a column that already exisits in your datasheet and is editable via the WriteBackExtreme product, it will show the value from the datasheet again.&#x20;

### Reload Datasources

If you change cell data in InputTables, you can select the '**refresh datasource**' button at the bottom right. This wil only appear if there is data that can be updated. This way changes directly reflect in your graphs on the dashboard.&#x20;
