Detailed Data edit vs EEM wizard

THis is probably a pretty basic question, but I haven't been able to find
the answer. I've entered a building in Design Development wizard, and
entered some simple EEM measures. So far so good.

1. I go to detailed data edit mode to fine-tune some details. If I go
back to wizard data edit, I am warned that I will lose any changes I've
made in detailed mode. Fair enough. However, I need to add an EEM
measure, for example fixing duct leakage, which is a detailed mode
feature. I can't find any way to enter an EEM measure in detailed mode,
without going back to wizard mode and losing my work. How does one enter
EEMs in detailed mode? I've been searching for some menu item or button
but haven't located any.

2. I would like to add an EEM for adding solar electric panels. I do not
find such an EEM in the EEM wizard, but I do find it in the detailed data
edit mode. But if I add solar panels there, it only applies to the
baseline run if I understand correctly. So this becomes the same as
question #1 - How would I add a detailed data edit mode EEM like solar
electric panels to one of the EEM runs?

Once you change any inputs within detailed edit mode you will not be able to return to the DD wizard without losing any changes made in detailed mode. You know that already. Good. But, the EEM wizard is for use with SD and DD wizards only. To perform any type of performance measure in the detailed mode you will need to utilize the parametric run tool. It is the EEM equivalent within the detailed edit mode and offers many more options than the EEM wizard. Once in detailed edit mode, make your additional tweaks then go to tools -->> parametric runs... This should get you going.
