# Edit records

### **Correct data**

To correct data, select the marks on your dashboard you want to alter. In the example below, we select a row from a table containing sensor data. The row is missing a value for the column “water”. When we click on the row, the Data Correction extension container displays a form which allows us to edit the data; in this case add a value for “water”. We can also add a reason for the correction. The changes will overwrite the existing datasource. Any changes made by a user will be stored in the audit datasource.

### **Bulk edit**

If you want to edit multiple records at once, you can drag to select multiple fields. The Data Correction extension container will show all of the selected rows and allows you to edit them. In our example, we use this feature to select three empty “gas” fields and add the missing data for all three fields to the datasource in one action.

## 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/writebackextreme/features/tableau-extension/end-user/data-correction/edit-records.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.
