# Editing

Editing is a basic functionality of the Kendo UI Grid wrapper for React and allows you to manipulate the way its data is rendered.

To configure the `dataSource` for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Destroy) data operations, use the built-in CRUD support for the [Kendo UI Data Source](http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/datasource/overview) component:

1. Configure the CRUD operations and the model of the `dataSource` instance.
1. Set the [`editable`](https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid#configuration-editable) properties of the Grid and add the data source.

For more information on editing, refer to the documentation of the [Kendo UI Grid for jQuery](https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/editing).
