# Interface: EditSettings

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:317](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L317)

The settings of the edit phase.

## Properties

### buttons?

> `optional` **buttons?**: [`ButtonSettingsFor`](../type-aliases/ButtonSettingsFor.md)\<`"cancel"` \| `"undo"` \| `"addPage"` \| `"done"` \| `"thumbnails"` \| `"previousPage"` \| `"nextPage"` \| `"delete"` \| `"redo"` \| `"rectify"` \| `"rotate"` \| `"filter"`\>

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:332](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L332)

The settings of each button: whether the screen hides it, and a handler that
runs before its default action. If the host application hides the rectify
button, the `fromEdit` mode of the rectify screen turns off. If it hides the
filter button, the filter mode turns off. If either mode is off, its button
does not show.

***

### container?

> `optional` **container?**: `string` \| `HTMLElement`

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:323](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L323)

The element that the edit screen shows in, or a selector for one.

#### Default Value

[ScannerSettings.container](ScannerSettings.md#container)

***

### layout?

> `optional` **layout?**: [`EditLayout`](EditLayout.md)

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:349](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L349)

New content for the header or the footer of the edit screen. The areas work as
[phases.capture.layout](CaptureSettings.md#layout) does, with the buttons of
[EditScreenButton](../type-aliases/EditScreenButton.md). The published file `dist/defaults/edit-layout.xml`
holds the built-in template of each area, to copy and change.

***

### modeButtons?

> `optional` **modeButtons?**: [`ButtonSettingsFor`](../type-aliases/ButtonSettingsFor.md)\<`"cancel"` \| `"apply"`\>

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:341](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L341)

The settings of the apply and cancel buttons of each mode: whether the screen
hides them, and a handler that runs before their default action.

***

### modes?

> `optional` **modes?**: [`EditModes`](EditModes.md)

Defined in: [src/settings/settings.ts:335](https://github.com/Dynamsoft/document-scanner-javascript/blob/main/src/settings/settings.ts#L335)

The modes that the edit screen opens. Set one to `false` to remove its button.
