# Editing a Configuration

To edit a configuration, perform the following steps:

1. Choose Configure > Edit Configuration in the Test Manager menu bar.

> The harness opens the Configuration Editor in Question Mode and loads the current configuration.

> In Question Mode, the Configuration Editor enables the Bookmarks feature. Use the Bookmarks feature to simplify an interview by displaying only questions whose answers might change. See Using Bookmarks in Configurations for the steps required to set, clear, and manage Bookmarks in a configuration. See Question Mode for detailed information about using the features of this mode to edit a configuration.

> Quick Set Mode enables rapid editing of frequently changed values. If you are editing only these values, you can change to the Quick Set Mode. You can use the View menu at any time to change from one mode to the other. Because only one configuration file is loaded in the Configuration Editor at a time, any changes that you made in one mode are automatically reflected in the other mode. See Editing Quick Set Values for detailed information about using the features of this mode to edit a configuration.

2. In Question Mode, navigate to the question by one of the following means:

- Use the Search menu to locate specific characters or character strings in the titles, questions, and answers. See Searching a Configuration.
- Choose the question directly from the Index pane.
- Click the Back button or Next button as required to locate the question.

3. Review and change configuration values as necessary.

> When you move backward and forward through the list of questions, the Configuration Editor preserves your previous answers until you change them.

4. After making all required changes to the configuration, save the changed configuration by one of the following means:

- If you are using a configuration template or an existing configuration file to create a new configuration file, choose File > Save As from the Configuration Editor menu bar. The Configuration Editor opens a dialog box for you to use in setting the location and name of the new configuration file.
- If you are modifying an existing configuration file used to run tests, click the Done button. The Configuration Editor saves the changes to the configuration file and closes. When the Done button is enabled, you can click it regardless of your location in the configuration.
