Inline Editing for Grids and Lists

The Actions menu that allowed you to select Edit Mode or Display Mode has been removed. To edit a cell in a list or grid, you click in the cell. If the cell can be edited, it activates so that you can edit. As changes are made, a red flag appears in the cell's upper left corner to indicate the changes have not yet been saved. You can move from one cell to the next, editing as needed before you save.

You can also toggle between display and edit by pressing the Enter key.
