| To edit fields on records: | Edit on the object for the kind of record you’re editing |
Not all fields on records in a list view can be edited inline. To find out whether a field
supports inline editing, hover over it and look for the pencil 
. Non-editable cells have a lock 
. Inline editing doesn’t work for list views that contain multiple record types
unless you select Make inline edits in list views with multiple record
types in User Interface Settings. Otherwise, filter by a single record type
before making inline edits.
As always, you can edit only the records that you have access to.
To edit fields in one row of a list view:
-
From the list, hover over the cell to edit, and then click .
-
Make your change in the editable cell or cells.
A Save button appears at the bottom of the list view.
-
Save your changes.
If other people make inline edits to the same fields on a record simultaneously, only the most recent edit is saved.
