You can see your changes affect the document on the Text tab. Consider the following excerpt from books.xml. If you move the rows in the authors table, for example, as shown in Figure 119, the underlying XML changes accordingly: Types of Changes that Affect the DocumentThe following changes, all of which can be made using Grid tab, affect the underlying XML document:
l Adding, deleting, reordering rows
l Adding, deleting, reordering, and renaming columns
l Adding, deleting, reordering, and sorting tables
l Changing element and attribute values
l Renaming container elements
Changes you make affect the current instance only. For example, in the example shown in Figure 119, only that instance of the nested table is affected. If you add a column to books/book, however, every instance of books/book gets that new column. |
