# The ingredient editor

The **ingredient editor** is a form used to view and edit ingredients. To access the ingredient editor, click on the ingredient pill, either in the data drawer or when configuring charts.

Different options appear in the ingredient editor depending on whether the ingredient is a dimension or a measure and whether the ingredient is a number, date, time, or place. Some of the options only affect particular chart types.
