How to edit an existing test

To make edits without affecting the master version of the test, save the changes on a test branch.
Quick edit vs. Launch Trainer
Browser and mobile tests support two options for editing: quick edit and the mabl Trainer. If you want to make changes that don't require interacting with the application under test, use quick edit. Otherwise, click on "Launch Trainer" to open the test in the mabl Trainer.
