Other Ways to edit an Improvement
You can also edit your Improvement by clicking the 
in the top right of the panel you are on. This will bring up a window where you can make edits to all of the fields contained within that panel on your Template. This is particularly useful if you are using Custom Layouts on your Templates.
If you wish to make changes to a specific field or Attribute, you can do so with single field editing. This can be especially helpful if you are trying to update a specific field rather than scrolling through a list of available fields on the Template.
Clicking on the field or Attribute you want to edit in the work panel will open a window in which you can edit that specific information. If the Attribute you want to edit is configured to affect other fields or Attributes, those secondary fields and Attributes will be included on that window.
