+<div class="paragraph"><p><em>METHOD 1</em>: After uploading dives from
+a dive computer, the dive profiles of the uploaded dives are shown in the <strong>Dive profile</strong> tab, as well
+as a few items of information
+in the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> tab (e.g. water temperature) and in the <strong>Equipment</strong> tab (e.g. gas pressures
+and gas composition). However the other fields remain empty.
+It may be useful to simultaneously edit some of the
+fields in the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> and <strong>Equipment</strong> tabs. For instance, it is possible
+that a diver performed several dives during a single day, using identical equipment while diving at the same
+dive site or with the same dive master and/or buddy or tags. Instead of completing the information for each
+of these dives separately, one can select all the dives for that day in the <strong>Dive List</strong> and
+insert the same information in the <strong>Dive Notes</strong> and <strong>Equipment</strong> fields that need
+identical information. This is achieved by editing the dive notes or the equipment for any one
+of the selected dives.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>The simultaneous editing only works with fields that do not already contain information.
+This means that, if some fields have been edited for a particular dive among the selected dives,
+these are not changed while
+editing the dives simultaneously. Technically, the rule for editing several dives simultaneously is:
+if the data field being edited contains <em>exactly the same information</em> for all the dives that have been
+selected, the new, edited information is substituted for all the selected dives, otherwise only the
+edited dive is
+changed, even though several dives have been selected in the <strong>Dive List</strong>. This greatly speeds
