Quick edit provides an alternative to the standard tab-based navigation and editing.

Instead of clicking on a note which switches the Note Tree to the newly selected note, or navigating between two different Tabs, the Quick edit feature opens as a popup window that can be easily dismissed.

This feature is also well integrated with Collections such as the calendar view, which makes it easy to edit entries without having to go back and forth between the child note and the calendar.

## Feature highlights

- All note types are supported, including Collections.
- Note that the Note List will not be displayed, except for notes of type Collections.
- For Text notes, depending on user preference, both the floating and classic editors are supported. See Formatting toolbar.
- The title and the note and the icon are editable, just like a normal tab.
- The Promoted Attributes are also displayed.
  - This integrates well with Collections where there are predefined attributes such as the Start date and End date, allowing for easy editing.

## Accessing the quick edit

- From the Note Tree:
  - Right click on a note and select Quick edit.
  - or, press `Ctrl`+`Right click` on a note.
- On Internal (reference) links:
  - Right click and select Quick edit.
  - or, press `Ctrl`+`Right click` on the link.
- On a Note Tooltip, press the quick edit icon.
- In Collections:
  - For Calendar:
    - Clicking on an event will open that event for quick editing.
    - If the calendar is for the Day Notes root, clicking on the day number will open the popup for that day note.
  - For Geo Map:
    - Clicking on a marker will open that marker, but only if the map is in read-only mode.

## Handling of read-only notes

The Quick edit feature has a unique behavior for Read-Only Notes:

- If the note is read-only due to performance reasons (auto read-only), then the note is made editable for quick editing.
- If the note has been manually set to read-only, then the note is read-only to prevent accidental change.
  - In this case, the note can still be edited by on-screen instructions.
