Overview: Editing a Configuration File

The Editor is a core component in Config Editor. It acts as the interface to open a configuration file, make
a local copy, save the changed configuration and commit the changes back to original location.
You can edit a file by:
Selecting device and version of configuration file
Searching for a pattern
Selecting a baseline configuration file
Selecting a configuration file stored in an external location
You can edit a previously opened file, that is, a file from your private area or public work area.
You can edit the files in either the Raw or Processed mode.
Raw mode—The entire file is displayed. After you open a file in a specific mode, you can view it
only in that mode.
Processed mode—Only the file commands are displayed at the configlet (set of related configuration
commands) level.
