 If the [Excel Copy Buffer Plugin](excel-copy-buffer.md) is configured, the Row based editing pluging will override it's behavior by denying pastes on all cells not within a edit mode row. Nevertheless, any existing `BeforePasteCellHandler` will be respected.
 
 ## How the plugin works
-The idea of the plugin is to focus the users editing experience on specific individual rows and and save them individually. This is achieved by letting the user toggle one or more rows into edit mode. Now changes can be made to those rows and will be highlighted and tracked. The user may cancel the edit mode at any time and revert all cells changes. If the save button is pressed on the other hand an `onBeforeRowUpdated` hook, which you define via plugin options, is called and expects a `Promise<boolean>`. In that method you'd typically write the changes to your backend and return either true or false based on the operations outcome. If a negative boolean is returned the edit mode is kept, otherwise the row applies the changes and toggles back into readonly mode. That means, no modifications can be done on the grid.
