```
public class EditNode
extends PaletteNode
```
An object representing a component that is currently being edited within an EditContext.
An EditNode is essentially a copy of a PaletteNode, initially with the same properties as the PaletteNode from which it was generated. However unlike a PaletteNode, an EditNode always has a liveObject - the object created from the PaletteNode.defaults or other properties defined on a paletteNode.
Like a Palette, an EditContext may use properties such as PaletteNode.icon or PaletteNode.title to display EditNodes.
An EditContext generally offers some means of editing EditNodes and, as edits are made, updates defaults with the information required to re-create the component.
