Inline Edit lets you update a single code cell directly with AI assistance. Instead of opening chat or writing the changes yourself, you can give instructions for small, local edits.

How to Use Inline Edit

1. Focus on the cell you want to change.

2. Click the Inline Edit button (or press ⌘ K / Ctrl K).

3. Type your edit instructions.

4. The AI will update only that cell according to your request.

When to Use Inline Edit

• Small fixes (e.g., “change the loop to a list comprehension”).

• Local refactors (e.g., “rename variable x to customer_id”).

• Quick adjustments (e.g., “add error handling for missing keys”).

• Improving readability (e.g., “add comments explaining each step”).

For broader changes involving multiple cells, use Chat or Planning instead.

Example

Original cell:

You click Inline Edit and type:
“Download last 1 year prices instead”

The AI updates only this cell with the requested change.

FAQ

Q: What’s the difference between Inline Edit and Chat?
Inline Edit updates one cell only. Chat can add, modify, or generate across multiple cells.

Q: Can Inline Edit break other cells?
No. It applies changes only to the selected cell, keeping the rest of your notebook untouched.

Q: Do I need to re-run the cell after Inline Edit?
Yes. Once edited, you must execute the cell to apply changes.

Q: Can I undo an Inline Edit?
Yes. Use the notebook’s undo feature or version history to roll back.
