Edit a device

This page covers editing a device that’s already in your inventory.

Open the edit dialog

1. Right-click the device row in the sidebar.
2. Pick Edit device… from the context menu.
3. The Edit device dialog opens, pre-filled with the device’s current values.

Editable fields

The same fields as the new-device dialog (see Add a device):

• ID
• Host
• Port
• Vendor
• Group
• Auth profile
• Syntax highlighting toggle
• Quick copy/paste toggle

Effects on active sessions

Editing a device does not affect sessions that are already open. The new values apply to subsequent connects:

• Changing Host, Port, Vendor, or Auth profile: the next Connect uses the new values; existing sessions keep running with the old values until you close them.
• Toggling Syntax highlighting or Quick copy/paste: takes effect on the next mouse click / keystroke in any open pane for this device. You don’t need to reconnect.

Renaming a group

To rename a group folder (and move every device in it):

1. Right-click the group folder in the sidebar.
2. Pick Rename group….
3. Enter the new path. You can change a single segment (Lab → LAB) or restructure (Lab/Junos → Production/Junos).
4. Click Save. Every device under the old path has its group field rewritten.

Deleting a device

1. Right-click the device row in the sidebar.
2. Pick Delete device….
3. Confirm. The device is removed from the inventory. The auth profile (and any credentials it references) is not touched.

If you want to remove the auth profile too:

1. Click the key icon in the sidebar header.
2. Find the profile in the manager.
3. Click Delete on the row. If the profile is still referenced by another device, the deletion is refused and the list of referencing devices is shown.
