User InterfaceEdit
-

- Record counts shown in record tree.
- Record list shows active and deleted records in different colors.
- Custom dialog to make selection of scripts/enchantments/etc... for records easier.

Help SystemEdit
-
- Tooltips for most controls (can be disabled).

Import/ExportEdit
-
- Import/export most records from/to CSV (Comma Seperated Value) files.
- Most records fields supported.
- Escapes/unescapes special characters (carriage returns, tabs, commas, etc...) to allow extended fields to be exported/imported.
- Existing records are automatically updated/overwritten when importing.
- Formids automatically assigned to new imported records.
PerformanceEdit
-
- Improved performance at the cost of requiring more memory (loading Oblivion.esm takes +800 MB).
- Skyrim.esm is only loaded once per session which allows multiple plugins to be loaded at once and decreases the time of subsequent loads.

The following lists wanted or planned features for SkyEdit. Note that a feature listed here may not necessarily ever be implemented.
-
- The ability to edit the object id or atleast show what object id your newly created items have
- The ability to export as overwrite / new record to a new / existing mod like FO3 Edit / NV Edit.
