New variation will start a different line of play that will appear parallel to the
original moves;
New main line will enter the move as the main line and make the original game a
variation;
Overwrite the original moves and replace them with new ones;
Insert the new move into the game, i.e. retain as many of the moves that come
after it as possible.
The last function is useful when you have entered a number of moves and discover
that one was incorrect (wrong rook or knight, wrong destination square). Instead of
entering all moves again use Insert, which will retain as much as possible. Naturally
ChessBase will make sure all moves are legal.
Express correction
The express retraction button under the board suppresses
the above query and a ssumes that the next move you enter
should overwrite the previously entered ones.
Useful keyboard shortcuts

query
Shift-move Hold down the Shift key and enter move to overwrite without query
