When a table is edited via "local editing" where is the change actually saved?
Assume the data is a static array of objects: data: ary
When a DT is initialized, does it make a separate copy of the data in data: ary, or are changes made to the actual content in the DOM?

Its written in the data object for the row in question. DataTables does not make a copy of the actual data objects, so it will effect the original objects.
However, DataTables does not use the original container array. So in the case you mention, if you were to add an item to
arythen it wouldn't be picked up after the table was initialised. But the data objects inside it should have been updated (since they are held by reference).Allan
