    Quick Edit Cell

    Edit values directly in any data grid without opening a form. Toggle **Edit Mode** in the toolbar, double-click an editable cell, and Moustra shows the right input — text, number, date picker, or dropdown — based on the column type.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1

    Enable Edit Mode

    Find the Edit Mode button in the toolbar at the top-right of any data grid. Click it to toggle Edit Mode on — the button highlights when active, and editable cells become responsive to double-clicks.

    Pro Tip

    Edit Mode must be on before double-clicking does anything. If nothing happens, check the toolbar first.

    2

    Double-click an editable cell

    With Edit Mode on, double-click any cell to enter edit mode. Editable columns have a small edit icon in the column header.

    Pro Tip

    You can also press **Enter** on a selected cell to start editing.

    3

    Edit the value

    The input type matches the column — text box, number, date picker, or dropdown. Make your change.

    4

    Save the change

    Press Enter (or click outside the cell) to save. Press Escape to cancel without writing. Toggle Edit Mode off when you're done to avoid accidental edits.

    Pro Tip

    Turn off Edit Mode once you're finished so stray double-clicks don't open the editor.
