Edit checks alert you when an answer looks questionable or falls outside the typical range for your library. They appear when you enter or update a value outside the expected range, or when you try to submit.

The reason for each edit check appears in the prompt on screen. If the data is wrong, correct the value. If the data is right, add a note explaining it, and the edit check will be considered resolved.
