Before editing the alignment, the user must select an Editing Mode from the option menu. The options are “Insert/Delete” which pertains to a single sequence and allows the user to insert/delete/shift cells within a sequence. Alternatively, the user can select “Insert/Delete Column” which pertains to the alignment and allows the user to insert/delete a column in the alignment.
Once the user selects an Editing Mode, they can click on a cell in the alignment, where the background of the cell will be highlighted orange. The user can move around the alignment using the arrow keys on their keyboard.

Depending on the Editing Mode selected, the user can insert/delete a column or cell. First the user must select a nucleotide in their alignment. Once selected they can insert a cell to the left of that nucleotide by pressing the SpaceBar. If the user prefers deleting a gapped position, they should select the nucleotide to the left of the gapped position and then press the BackSpace or Delete key.

When in the Insert/Delete Editing Mode, the user has the option to slide nucleotides instead of performing insert and delete operations. They can do so by selecting a nucleotide, then pressing the Shift+Left arrow keys or Shift+Right arrow keys.
