Method 3
As an alternative to the command line tool, you can manage pico configurations and start/stop pico instances from the System Administration GUI. For further information, see Managing Picos in Desktop.
Activation and Validation
When you use the mzsh commands topo set or topo open, changes are automatically validated before they are copied to the active registry. If the command and its arguments can be parsed but fails the validation, you can update the configuration or use a reset command to undo the changes.
You can disable the validation by using the option --no-activation. Changes performed by the mzsh topo will then remain in the master registry until you submit a separate activate command.

| title | Note! Note that theThe sorting and layout of the configuration files may change when it is updated both using manual editing and the commands. That means that the exact ordering of keys, and layout of the file could change. However: this will not affect how the system interprets the configuration at runtime. It is not supported to edit the configuration files using command line utilities (such as sed or awk), all scripted changes must be done via the mzsh topo command, to minimize the risk of invalid assumptions regarding the exact layout of the configuration files. |
