Text Editor Buttons

Depending on the context, the editor contains the following buttons along the left side of the workspace.

This button... Does this...
Cancel
Closes the editor without making any changes to the text. If you have made changes to the text, G2 displays a confirmation message. Cancel is always visible.
End
Accepts the text and closes the editor. End is only visible when the current text is a valid, complete statement. The End button does not appear when you enter a value into a simple attribute, or when the statement is not valid or complete.
Paste
Inserts the top-most piece of text from the scrapbook at the current cursor location. Paste is only visible when text is in the scrapbook.
Redo
Redoes the last edit you undid using Undo. (You can also use the keystroke command Alt + r.) Redo is only visible when you have undone one or more edits by using Undo.
Undo
Undoes the last edit you made in the editor. (You can also use the keystroke command Alt + u.) Undo is only visible when you have made text edits.
Update
Accepts the current text in the editor without closing the editor. Update is particularly useful for editing procedures. Update is not available when creating new statements or rules, when saving and loading KBs, or when using the Inspect facility.
