Edit values mode in tables

What’s new?
You can now toggle an Edit values mode in tables to clearly see which cells allow manual inputs.

Why?
Until now, you had to hover over cells to discover which ones were editable — a slow and unclear experience. This made it difficult for budget owners to work efficiently, especially in large tables with mixed inputs.

How does it work?
  • When a table contains at least one manual input cell, an Edit values button will appear when hovering the table.
  • Clicking the button activates edit mode, which:
    • Clears all table colors
    • Highlights editable cells in light blue
    • Makes it clear where users can input data
  • You can exit edit mode by clicking Back to view.
  • Double-clicking an editable cell also opens the panel and activates edit mode.
  • Refreshing the page resets the view to the default (view mode).
  • If the table includes only non-editable values (e.g. only actuals), the Edit button is not shown.
  • Members without that "Can edit values" permission won’t see the button, even if the table contains manual inputs.
Considerations
  • This is a visual-only toggle — it doesn’t change any data or permissions.
  • Detached scenarios and inherited manual inputs (e.g. not on the variable’s level) won’t show purple or striped cells in this mode — this is a simpler view.
  • This is just the first step — more enhancements to budgeting workflows are coming soon!
