== Working with Records == | |||
When you are using the [[Creation Kit]], the records that you have edited in the currently active [[Data File]] will be marked with a '''*''' within the [[Object Window]]. | |||
To see these all records a [[Data File]] changes or adds in a single list, do the following. | |||
#Make sure the [[Data File]] is saved to disk. | |||
#Then navigate to '''File -> Data...''' from the [[Creation Kit]] file menu. | |||
#Highlight your [[Data File]] in the left pane, and press the '''Details...''' button. | |||
#A separate window will then show the full list of records that the [[Data File]] adds or changes. | |||
#Select any file and choose the '''Details...''' button. | |||
The above method is the only way to get a full listing within the [[Creation Kit]] of your changes to a master files records, and additional records your plugin creates. | |||
It's worth noting that your additional records will have FormID's that are higher than those of the master files. | |||
The first 2 characters count up for each file loaded. | |||
So sorting by FormID, by clicking the column heading, becomes a useful tool too. | |||
=== Cleaning Records === | |||
[[File:Data File Details Mark As Ignored Window.png]]{{ClearFloats}} | |||
If you see some records listed that you didn't intend to change, you can highlight them in the popup box and press the delete key. | |||
This will mark them with an '''I''' for ''ignored''. | |||
The ignored records will be purged from your file the next time you save it. | |||
