Each channel has an edit policy.Proposal mode is the default. An addressed edit becomes an Accept/Reject proposal before it changes the board. This is useful when several people collaborate on the same diagram.Direct mode applies addressed edits immediately and creates the next version.Change the policy with /arialine edits proposal or /arialine edits direct, or use the channel settings controls in App Home. Only explicitly addressed requests can edit a diagram in either mode.

Choose whether addressed edits require approval or apply immediately.
