#### Edit & Save

From this window you can make any changes or edits you would like to this item

Note: If you make any changes make here it will also change anywhere else this item is being used in an assembly

For this example we are changing the **Description** to 4' x 10' Gypsum Board, and the **Per** to 40

Make your edits, then click **Save Item** at the bottom of the window
