# Edit vector data

#### Overview

You can edit features within a vector layer directly in the Viewer.

Editing allows you to update feature geometry and/or attributes depending on your permissions.

***

#### Editing features

To edit a feature:

1. Open the vector layer in the Viewer
2. Select the feature you want to edit
3. Open the feature panel
4. Enter edit mode
5. Apply your changes and save

***

#### Saving changes

Once edits are completed, you must save the changes to apply them to the dataset.

Saved edits are immediately reflected in the layer and are tracked in the change log.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes**

* Editing is permission-controlled and may not be available for all users or layers
* All changes are versioned and can be reviewed in the layer history
* Edits apply directly to the underlying dataset, not only the visualisation
