# 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;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/inputtables/features/cell-editing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
