Data editor
Data editor edits a Startup’s own Nouns directly: tables, saved views, imports, exports and bulk Changes.
Data editor edits a Startup’s own records directly, in tables and saved views over every Noun it defines. Imports, exports and bulk edits land as one Change, so every edit is reviewed and reversible.
