# Inline Editor

You can use the inline editor feature to edit records directly from the list view. **By clicking on individual record values displayed in the list, you can instantly modify and save them—eliminating the need to navigate to the detail page.** This feature greatly enhances the productivity of repetitive data editing tasks and streamlines list-based workflows.

{% hint style="warning" %}
To use the inline editor feature, you must enable the Inline Editor option in the data table settings menu.
{% endhint %}

* Double-click the cell you want to edit, or click the cell's edit icon.\
  (Editing is only possible if you have the appropriate permission for the field.)
* After changing the value, press the Enter key or click outside the cell to save the changes.
* For picklist-type fields, available options are controlled based on the record type.\
  (Changing the record type does not alter the values that have already been saved.)
