Editing requirements directly in documents

You can edit requirements directly in requirement documents. This helps you make changes within the context of the entire document and work on changes to several requirements at once instead of opening each one to edit individually.

Keep the following in mind:

• To modify requirement workflow events or other information not displayed in the document, select the requirement and choose Edit > Edit Requirement in Detail Window. See Editing requirements.
• If the current requirement version is shared in multiple documents, all instances of the requirement are updated.
• You cannot edit requirements in document snapshots.

1. Double-click the requirement in the Detail area in the Specification Document window.

The requirement opens for editing. A red line and pencil icon are displayed to indicate you are editing the requirement. Other indicators may be displayed to provide additional information about the requirement. See Requirement and document indicators.

2. Make any changes and click Save to save the requirement. Click Save All to save changes to all modified requirements.

Click Don't Save to discard the changes. When you are prompted to save the changes, click Don't Save.
