When you edit a field in the Notes or Equipment panels, _Subsurface_ enters *Editing Mode*,
indicated by the message in the blue box at the top of the *Notes* panel (see the image below). This message is
displayed in all the panels under Notes and Equipment when in *Editing Mode*.
Most actions when editing a new dive can be individually undone, as described in the
section on <<S_undo,undoing edits>>, but changes
in the Equipment panel are not yet included in that in-depth undo implementations, and therefore
_Subsurface_ enters *Editing Mode* when changes are made in this panel. This is
indicated by the message in the blue box at the top of the panels (see the image below).

If this hand-entered dive was not in the sea but in a body of water above sea level you may wish to edit the xref:S_altitude[*altitude setting in the

The _Apply changes_ button should only be selected after all the parts of a dive have been entered.
When entering dives by hand, the _Info_, _Equipment_ and _Profile_ tabs should be completed
before applying the information. By selecting the _Apply changes_ button, a local copy of the information

The _Apply changes_ button should ONLY be selected after all parts

ask again, this time whether the complete dive log should be saved on disk or not.

replace or modify existing information. Sometimes this is unintended. Let's say, for the moment,
the time of your dive computer was set incorrectly and the dive time in the
*Notes* tab is therefore incorrect. You wish to correct the time indicated in the *Notes* tab
to reflect the true dive time. The example in the images below reflect a small part
of the *Notes* tab where the dive time was changed from
8:44 (image a) to 7:44 (image b). Now, for some reason, you wish to return
to the initial time (08:44). Click on the _Edit_ heading in the main menu and
an option appears to undo the change in time (image c). Select this undo option
and the time is again shown as 8:44. Having undone the change, a new option appears under
and the time is again shown as 8:44. This can also be achieved by typing Ctrl-Z (or CMD-Z on a Mac).
Having undone the change, a new option appears under
the _Edit_ heading: Redo the change (image d). If this option is selected, the change in
time is redone. The undo facility applies to the majority of information typed into the text
areas of _Subsurface_ and facilitates easy and accurate data entry. Multiple changes
