How to edit one specific row in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008?

In Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008, is there a secret to be able to edit one row based on a key?

There's an option to do "Edit Top 200 Rows", but what if I want to select some other row and edit it in the datagrid? I would rather do that than code an update statement and risk messing up the where clause.

If you are facing challenges in saving data from the results pane after using Edit Top 200 Rows option, then the below steps are for you:

  1. Run the query or view that has the data you want to edit.
  2. Navigate to the cells containing the data you want to change.
  3. Type in the new data.
  4. Save your changes by leaving the row.
