The option Edit Multiple Files... shows, after clicking Yes in the warning dialog mentioned above, the Multi File Editor. The first thing to do here is to load a domain by clicking Load domain. Loading a domain is the same as for the Scrub Transcriptions... option. To be able to load a domain you must of course have created one beforehand (see the section called “How to select multiple files”). After loading a domain, the data is shown in the table. In this table you can edit tiers on the Tiers tab and tier types on the Tier Types tab.

To edit a name, annotator or participant of a tier, double click the corresponding table cell or select it and start typing. To change the tier type of a tier, select one from the drop down menu. You can add a tier by clicking Add tier, add a depending tier by clicking Add dependent tierand remove one by clicking Remove tier.

	Note
	If there are hierarchy inconsistencies (e.g. if a tier in one file does have a parent while a tier with the same name in another file does not) removing tiers is not possible. The button Remove tier is therefore greyed out.

Figure 140. Multiple File Editor

On the Tier Types tab, the name of a tier type can be changed by double clicking the corresponding table cell in the Type Name column.

Changes made in the Tiers and Types tabs are applied to all the files in the domain after clicking the Save changes to domain files button.
