How can I edit a value in a Table in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
You can edit a value in the Table of the selected Layer in Spatial Manager Desktop™ by double-clicking in the correspondent cell in the Data grid. Some considerations:

- If the values are "greyed" in the Data grid that means the Layer is an "External layer" and its external source is a read-only source, so that you cannot edit the values in the Table
Can I change the value of a Field in a Table for more than a Feature simultaneously in Spatial Manager Desktop™?
Yes, you can change the value of a Field in a Table for various Features simultaneously in Spatial Manager Desktop™, using the "Multiple edition" function in the "Start" ribbon. To do it, you must:
- Select the Layer and the Field to apply the edition
- Select if you want to apply the edition to all the Layer or only to the selected Features (if any)
