Editing Jobs
There are two ways you can edit the inputs of a job: with Wizard or within a spreadsheet application. For a small number of edits, use Wizard. For a large number of edits, edit the job in a spreadsheet application.
For more specific job editing information, view the Job Setup article for your vertical:
Wizard
