Update an Entry
To update an existing entry click on it and drag for a given period - this method suits the best for minor changes. To use drag and drop technique first you need to select an item, using single left mouse button click. For major changes simply double click an item to open its full edition.
The easiest way to spot if the element was selected is to see if red "x" symbol is visible on its right side (1). After selecting an item on the timeline, its frame color also changes (you should be able to spot its border yellow glow)
Dialog with summary of changes appears after using either double click or drag and drop technique:
