About the General Editor Layout

When you open the attributes for an instance or a template, you see the Object Editor. The Object Editor is where you configure the object's attributes and add scripts or associated graphics to the object. The Object Editor has several pages related to the type of object you select. If you are working with an instance, you see different pages than if you are working with a template.

For example, the following illustration shows an analog device template.

When you open the Object Editor, the object is automatically checked out so no other user can work on it. When you close the Object Editor, the object is checked in to the Galaxy database, if it was automatically checked out when the editor was opened.

After the object is checked in, other users can edit it.
