## Running code in context
You can use the [Editor#run] method to run a function inside of a transaction. All changes made during the transaction will be settled at once. This improves performance and avoids unnecessary renders in the user interface.
```ts
editor.run(() => {
editor.createShapes(myShapes)
editor.sendToBack(myShapes)
editor.selectNone()
})
```
You can also use [Editor#run] to execute code with contextual options.
For example, you can use the options to perform actions without effecting the undo / redo history:
```ts
editor.run(
() => {
editor.createShapes(myShapes)
editor.sendToBack(myShapes)
editor.selectNone()
},
{ history: 'ignore' }
)
```
You can also use the options to make changes to locked shapes.
```ts
editor.run(
() => {
editor.updateShapes(myLockedShapes)
},
{ ignoreShapeLock: true }
)
```
## Events
The [Editor](?) class receives events from its [Editor#dispatch](?) method. When the [Editor](?) receives an event, it is first handled internally to update [Editor#inputs](?) and other state before, and then sent into to the editor's state chart.

### Make changes without effecting the history
You can use the [Editor#run](?) method to make changes without effecting the undo redo history.
```ts
editor.run(
() => {
editor.deleteShapes(myLockedShapes)
},
{ history: 'ignore' }
)
```
### Make changes to locked shape
You can use the [Editor#run](?) method to make changes to locked shapes without having to unlock them first.
```ts
editor.run(
() => {
editor.deleteShapes(myLockedShapes)
},
{ ignoreShapeLock: true }
)
```
