Editing preferences

Open block dialog boxes in view or modify mode when
you double-click a cell in the spreadsheet. In view mode, you can examine
the block configuration but not modify it. The block and its chain remain
on scan at all times. In modify mode, you can examine and change the block
configuration. The block and its chain are placed off scan even if you
do not modify the block.
You also have the option to place edited blocks and
chains on scan automatically when you finish editing them. By default,
this option is disabled and Database Manager prompts you to place modified
blocks on scan.
