Editor

The Editor allows you to modify a vocabulary. When you make a change to a vocabulary and save it, the modified vocabulary is saved in My Vocabularies, which you can open by going to Menu > Toolbox > Vocabulary > Select a Vocabulary > My Vocabularies.

The Select a Vocabulary window is shown with My Vocabularies selected.

The original default vocabulary is preserved and is still available. For example, if you open Unity 84 Sequenced from the “Unity” category, make changes to the vocabulary, and save them, the modified vocabulary is available from “My Vocabularies” and the original vocabulary is still available from “Unity”.

Use Editor Buttons

When you select an Editor button, it turns blue to indicate it is active. The button will remain active—indicated by the blue highlight—until you select it again or until you finish making changes and select Save. As long as a button remains active you can perform that operation on multiple buttons, one after another.

The example shows the Editor buttons, a Cancel button, and a Save button active.
