Hi Paull,
as Dirk already noted, you may either use XQuery and its Update Extension, or the right-click feaure provided by our GUI. If you have smaller documents, another option is to simply open the files in the Editor and edit them as text. You'll need to create a new database from this file, however, if you want all the visualizations to reflect your changes.
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________

Dear Paull,
You're very welcome to ask questions. You can update your XML data using XQuery as BaseX implements the full XQuery Update Facility. You can read more about this in the wiki at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_Update
Sounds like you also want to edit your data directly within the GUI. This should normally be possible. If the edit/delete buttons are deactivated, then it seems to me that the internal updating flag is set to false (which basically disables you from updating the xml document). Unfortunately, I don't know why this did happen. Maybe someone else on the list could help here.
Cheers, Dirk

Dear List
Please forgive me for asking a stupid question: is it possible to not only browse, but also edit content of an xml-file with basex?
When I browse a file I can right-click node-content, but the edit/delete etc. commands are all greyed out. IMHO it would be a great feature to be able to edit stuff...
