What does .env Editor actually do?

The env editor parses KEY=VALUE lines, lets you edit them, and prints them back. It does not load them into a process and it does not expand shell variables. Quotes are preserved only as well as the parser documents. Secrets stay in the browser unless you copy them out.

When should I use .env Editor?

Use it to sort or inspect a .env snippet.

When should I not use .env Editor?

Do not paste production secrets into a shared or recorded session.

What does .env Editor not do?

Not a shell. $VAR is not expanded. Exporting to a file is a download you trigger, not a write to your project directory.
