Allow the linked cell to be changed at the same time as current cell.

For example, the formula =A1 in cell A2 will normally cause A2 to reflect whatever you enter into A1, but you cannot alter the contents of A1 by altering the contents of A2. With Edit Source selected, you can enter data into either A1 or A2 and have both cells updated. This is a "Hot - or Two-Way - Link".

Edit Source is particularly useful when linking to Database from Write or Spreadsheet. It allows you to change the contents of the database field while browsing the data in Write or Spreadsheet.
