What is Inline Edit?
An edit you make by selecting a block of code and prompting the AI directly on that selection. The AI rewrites just that selection and nothing else.
6 lines rewritten · rest untouched

Write it in your own words in the app.
In real work
Use inline edit: select the function, then extract the validation logic into a separate function. Leave everything else the same.
In the illustration
The clamps close round one function's 6 lines; the head lifts and resets only those lines, while every line outside the clamps stays exactly where it was.
Select the sort function and use inline edit in your coding agent to make it stable and handle an empty array, without touching anything outside the selection.
