 A CSV upload bypasses the part where the records are loaded into the web page, and ALL rows are sent to the staging area directly.  This makes it suitable for larger uploads.
 
 ## Edit Stage Approve Workflow
-Up to 500 rows can be edited (in the web editor) at one time.  These edits are submitted to a staging area.  After one or more approvals (acceptances) the changes are applied to the source table.
+The EDIT screen loads up to [DC_MAXOBS_WEBEDIT](/dcc-options/#dc_maxobs_webedit) rows (250 by default), or as many rows as fit within [DC_MAXCELLS_WEBEDIT](/dcc-options/#dc_maxcells_webedit) (200,000 cells) - whichever is reached first, so a wide table loads fewer rows than a narrow one.  A larger table is not refused: it loads truncated, with a warning against the table name, and the filter is the way to reach the rest.

-- Without a search, the count shown next to the table name is the full number of rows in the filtered view, so it can be higher than the number of rows displayed - a table of 1,200 rows reports `1,200 rows` above a grid holding the first 500.
