To edit library details (administrators only)

It is possible to edit some, but not all, device details after creating a library. In particular, you
should be aware of the following:
You can delete cartridges by reducing the number of slots on the Devices page, but this will
only remove the highest—numbered blank slots. Once the Delete operation reaches a slot
number that contains data, it will not allow you to reduce the number further on the Details
page, even if earlier slots are blank. You must first use the Cartridges tab to make the slot
blank.
If you change the cartridge size on this page, this will only change newly-added cartridges;
it does not change the size of cartridges that have already been created.
