Modifying Items in a Change List

Now that you know that you can reverse changes you have applied to your tables by using the Change History functionality, what happens if you simply want to modify – not reverse – a change, such as a formula field? You can modify changes such as filters and calculated field definitions by clicking on the Edit  icon that displays to the right of a change in the Change History list. Note that if this icon does not appear, the change cannot be modified.

Clicking the Edit  icon launches the relevant dialog to enable you to modify your change. If you were to modify the calculated field you added to your table in the previous exercise, for example, you would click on the edit button in the change marked

 

in your Change History list. Doing so will launch the Update Calculated Field dialog.
