# Refactor

## Overview

This menu item is available only when a script editor is active.\
It is important to note that for refactoring to work comprehensively, the code must be properly documented through JSDoc. Insufficient information will result in decreased usefulness of the refactoring functionality.\
When performing a refactoring operation, a window will appear, allowing users to specify the required information and preview all the changes that will be made in all the code.
