# VASSAL Reference Manual

## General

This manual describes the features of the VASSAL module editor. It is not necessary to be familiar with this documentation if you are only using VASSAL to play games. The information here is also available from VASSAL's on-line help.
The Configuration Window is used to edit either a Module or a Module Extension. The menu bar of the Configuration Window offers the following actions:

- File: Save the module or save it to a different file.
- Help: This reference manual.
- Updaters: Create a Module updater or update saved games
- Translate: Help translate VASSAL into another language

Right-click on an any component to get a popup menu with options for that component. Use the Cut, Copy, Paste, and Move commands to move components around within the module.

#### Delete

#### Clone
