All of the tables that appear in Vago contain tooltips for their cell contents. This is especially useful for checking if the contents are correct without resizing the table columns.
Besides tables, any UI component of Vago may contain tooltips. They may be very helpful in understanding certain program options.

Change to current options - Changes the selected rows to the current settings in the Options section below each table.
Change output for - Changes the output for the selected items to a specified destination. For example, you could change the output of a newly-created .dat file to be Oni/AE/GameDataFolder/.
