 ===== Editing =====
 Edit mode may be toggled on/off by clicking the BUTTON{{{Edit}}} button on the Bottom Toolbar, or by selecting the menu  _View > Stop/Start Editing Macros_. Note that macros are saved immediately after every change (there is a small “dirty” marker in the bottom right corner of the editor window that shows when the save occurs). There is no need to ever turn off Edit mode, or do anything else to have your macro changes be recognised by the Keyboard Maestro Engine.
