To make changes, simply find the line that matches the step you are looking for. You can use Find or Find and Replace buttons to make searching easier. If you make incorrect changes, the X icon will be visible next to the line number to indicate that you must correct the error before saving. When your changes are finished, click Apply and save your test case. Then you can run your test case with the parameters that you have changed.
