Guides
How to use the Platform Editor, one task at a time.
Getting started
Open a database, find a record, make an edit, export a .res.
Releases and release notes
What a release is, when exporting makes one real, and how to turn a stretch of changes into a post.
Settings and running the editor
A shortcut per database, how updates arrive, and what every preference in the Settings dialog changes.
Tools: Find, Check, Duplicates, Compare and more
The power-user surface: search, the whole-database report, unused and duplicate records, comparing against a baseline, bulk edits, change history, and sharing work as a record package.
Database versions and battlesets
Reading structure versions 1 to 6, exporting version 6 or 5, the battleset a database is for, and writing it into a battleset file.
Coming from the Access editor
What carries over from the old MS-Access Platform Editor, and what does not, for someone who already knows its habits.
