### editing

The `WidgetEditingManager` exposes the [startEditing](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html#startEditing__anchor) and [endEditing](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html#endEditing__anchor) function that can be used to programmatically toggle the editing mode. The [isEditing](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html#isEditing__anchor) function can be used to check if WebViewer is currently in the editing mode.

### editableAnnotation

The editable annotation is the blue rectangle annotation that temporarily replaces a form field during the editing mode. Several helper functions that are related to editable annotations are also available to use.

### events

The [editingStarted](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html#event:editingStarted__anchor) and [editingEnded](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html#event:editingStarted__anchor) events will be triggered when WebViewer enters and exits the editing mode. They can be listened to, to execute some custom logic.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/web/forms/form-builder/form-builder-webviewer-7.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
