Update
Update is a record function that allows you to add or modify channel levels for a cue,
submaster, effect step, group or focus point. When you use [S2 - Update] , only captured
channels are recorded into the destination. You can use the [Only] command to limit which
captured channels are stored. Update is useful when you need to make changes to a cue,
submaster, effect step, group or focus point and you do not want to include the whole stage
picture. You can also update cues, submasters, groups and focus points that are not
currently on stage.

Only is found on [S4 - Only] in Stage, Blind and Fader on Express facepanels.

Delete
When you delete a cue, it is removed from the cue list, along with its channel data. Since
each cue stores all channel levels, deleting a cue will have no affect on tracked channels.
If a deleted cue is an allfade or block cue, it may have an affect on editing or playback of
background channels.
When you delete an inactive submaster, the submaster is emptied immediately and its LED
turns off. If you delete an active submaster, its levels will not disappear immediately. The
submaster LED will blink until you return the fader to zero, at which time the LED will turn
off to indicate the submaster is empty.
