Hello everyone, hope your day is going well. I have a question, and I am just using this project link as an example of what I am asking about. Info is pulled from a data viewer and is shown as a specific character screen. What I would like to know is, can you put an edit button on the character screen so that the user may edit the entry? My project has a library screen, then an individual screen that I would like the user to be able to edit. Can this be done, and how?
sample:

Hi @kcmahlo, thanks for reaching out. You can absolutely update the data from the data source. Here is a link to our docs (including a tutorial video) for updating a data source:
> **[Data Sources](https://docs.thunkable.com/data-sources#update)**
>
> Connecting your project to a data source allows you to work with the information that you have stored in Airtable, Google Sheets, Webflow or a local table.
For the UI, you would likely just want to create a modal that pops up when a user clicks on the edit button (or whatever you want to call it) with text inputs where the user can edit the data. Once the user submits the new edited data, the modal can close and you can use the call refresh data function to update the Data Viewer itself.

Well, I have the solution, but I’m not sure how to use it. Lol Would you be able to help me?
I’ve tried a few ways; none worked out as I’m not sure of how to do it. This is a copy of my project; the grey text is supplied by the data source, as well as the 3 images across the top.
How would I make a modal to include these all to edit, if someone wanted to update the entry?
