It's easy to change the details in a list item.
There are two ways to edit an item in a list. You can edit a single item in list view, which is the default method. You can also be even more productive and edit several items in grid view. Note that you need Contribute level permission or higher to edit items.
Note: Does your screen look different than the examples here? Your administrator may have classic experience set on the list, or you're using an earlier version. If so, see Add, edit, or delete list items. If you're a list owner, site owner, or administrator, see Switch the default experience for lists or document libraries from new or classic for the steps to set the default experience.
