+    This tab allows for the visualization and editing of detected parameters,
+    including their parsed types and values, within parsed OpenAPI files found
+    in the 'Parser' tab.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    To effectively utilize the match and replace feature when assessing
+    RESTful APIs based on OpenAPI, ensure that valid test values are set in
+    the 'Edited Value' column. The match and replace functionality will only
+    be applied to requests that meet the following conditions:
+  </p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      The BurpSuite tool for monitoring/processing is selected in the
+      'Match/Replace Scope' section of this tab.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      The request contains at least one parameter with a name and type that
+      match the 'Parameter' and 'Type' fields, respectively, and its value
+      matches the 'Parsed Value'.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+
+  <p>
+    For optimal results and accuracy, populate the 'Edited Value' column with
+    valid test parameters that trigger an HTTP 200 response before initiating
+    any scans.
+  </p>
+
+  <p>
+    <u>Warning:</u> Operations performed in the 'Parser' tab, such as clicking
+    'Clear item(s)' or 'Clear all' options in the contextual menu, or clicking
+    the 'Browse/Load' button, will reset the 'Parameters' tab. These operations include:
+  </p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      Any click on the 'Clear item(s)' or 'Clear all' options in the

+        Editing the 'Edited Value' column in the 'Parameters' tab while
