<SECT2 ID="VIEWS-DIRECTEDIT"> <TITLE>"Direct Editing"</TITLE> <PARA> The direct editing option (See <XREF LINKEND="LAUNCH-WINDOW-OPTIONS-DIRECT-EDIT">) enables the user to change the start or end position of a segment by dragging it around with the mouse. This works best in the DNA view window. As an example, to move the start position, click the mouse button on the first base of the feature or exon, hold the button down, move the mouse pointer to the desired position, then release the button. </PARA> </SECT2>
