Use the column settings button in the toolbar to show or hide columns. Hover a parameter for its full description, range, default and options from the built-in ArduPilot and PX4 metadata.
Click a value and enter the new value. The row is marked as changed.
Click Write to FC (N), where N is the number of changed parameters. The button shows progress while writing.
Revert discards unsaved edits without touching the flight controller.
If the aircraft is armed, writing opens the Vehicle is armed confirmation and you click Write Anyway to send the changes. Reset to Default (every parameter back to factory defaults) is disabled while armed.
Some parameter changes need a reboot of the flight controller before they apply. Armed writes take effect immediately. See Safety.
To clone a configuration between identical aircraft, export from one, then use Compare on the other and write only the rows that differ. The Firmware panel also has parameter backup and restore around a flash. See Flash Tool.File layouts are described in Mission file formats.
