You do not need to disconnect to change saved session. From Session > New Session you can modify stored sessions, while keeping your opened session connected.

Well I don't see why we couldn't change anything related to a session:

Environment
* Directories
* SCP/Shell
Connection
* Proxy
* Tunnel
SSH
* Key Exchange
* Authentication
* Bugs

No. What option do you want to modify?

Is it possible to edit the preferences for a session without disconnecting from it first?
