Each tool's metadata adapter has specific rules that determine what types of objects you can add and update in the Schema Editor. These same rules typically apply to the native tools that authoring tool users use, such as Data Dictionary Manager for Smart P&ID, to edit the tool metadata.

When you edit tool metadata using the Schema Editor, changes to the tool metadata is saved at different times depending on the authoring tool that you are using. Most authoring tools, except Smart Instrumentation, save the changes to the tool metadata when you save the tool map schema file using the File > Save > Tool Schema File command in the Schema Editor. This allows you to cancel your changes when you are adding new tool properties, enumerated lists, or enumerated entries before you save the tool map schema.

Smart Instrumentation, however, automatically saves your metadata changes to the Smart Instrumentation database as you make your changes in the Schema Editor. Therefore, you should be very careful to make sure that you know what changes you need to make before you begin.

For specific details about what types of objects that you can edit in the authoring tool via the metadata adapter and how save works for the tool's metadata adapter, select a tool in the Engineering Tool Options dialog box and then click the Details button.
