4.2.7.2 Editing a section or setting

You can edit an entire section, or a single setting, in a selected configuration file. Under EDIT existing item on the Configuration Manager Action page, choose one of the following: 

Edit full section content	Edit the content of a section, and also the section heading and any comments; you can even change the name of the section.
Edit one setting in section	First you choose a section, then you pick the setting, then you choose the file where you want to make changes. Do not use for named macros; instead, edit the full section.

If you edit the value for a setting, and you want a leading space before the value, you have to add that space explicitly. A single space is stripped; multiple spaces are preserved. If you change something else, spaces in the value are not altered, unlike spaces before the equals sign, which are always removed.

Click Apply action; the Configuration manager switches to the Section page, the Setting page, or the .ini file page, depending on the action and the available sections or settings.
