Section Locks
There are different types of locks on sections. The status bar indicates what type of lock is applied to a selected sec-
tion.
Note: All locks are applied to each individual section and are not recursive. Only text that appears in blue can be
modified.
Section-Level Merge Modes
EXM files ship with section-level merge modes already defined according to section content. Merge modes determine
how section information is handled when an updated EXM file is deployed to the terminal where an existing version of
that EXM file is stored.
Merge modes are indicated by folder icons and in the Status bar.

new section replaces the old section.
This is the default merge mode for new sections.

Disable + Add
Disables non-common children elements (i.e., subsections, and keys) in the

brand new section, the new section is added to the existing EXM file.
Note: Disabled sections are not modified in the target file.
