More About Pre, Edit, and Post Points

In this section, you modified the behavior of inherited action diagrams by entering code into its Pre, Edit, or Post Points. These three types of construct are known collectively in the CA Plex documentation as edit/collection points. Edit/collection points are placed in Pattern Library action diagrams at strategic points where the developer of the pattern expects that you will need to make modifications. In team-based development, this approach gives pattern developers control over how their patterns are used. Conversely, it guides developers who use a pattern to the best places to make modifications.
