Strand Based hair will not update after edit

in New Users
HI,
Im attempting to make some strand based fur. The problem im having is that when I go to edit it so I can shorten the lenght of fur, it appears not to update it on my figure after I have accepted it. Have no idea what im doing wrong.
Thanks
Gill
