# Edit Records Inline

Inline Edit is a feature in Tabidoo that allows users to edit or add records directly within the table—no need to open a separate record view. With the latest improvements, inline editing now works more like Excel, making data entry faster and smoother.

### **Why Use It?**

-   Edit or create records directly inside the tables
-   Perfect for quick updates and fast data entry
-   Stay focused on you data without switching views
-   Move through cells quickly using keyboard navigation

### **How to Enable It**

-   Click the **gear icon** on your table
-   Go to **Advanced Settings**
-   Check **“Allow direct inline edit in table”**
-   Save and look for the **pencil icon** in the bottom-right corner

### New Excel-Style Editing Behavior

The inline edit experience has been improved,

-   Cells no longer display edit components immediately
-   You can move through the table freely and quickly
-   Edit mode opens only when needed:

Press **Enter**  
Press **F2**  
Or simply start typing

This provides a cleaner table view and much faster editing workflow.

**What You Can’t Edit Inline**

Inline Edit doesn’t support these fields:

-   List of checkboxes
-   Free HTML
-   File
-   Image
-   Button

Use full record view for those.

### **Missing the Icon?**

Check that inline editing is enabled in Advanced Settings. Once active, you'll see a help article in the **bottom-right corner** for extra guidance.
