The record

Purpose: xEdit is an editing and conflict-resolution tool for Bethesda game plugins from Oblivion through Starfield.
Supported games: The documentation lists support for Enderal, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, and Starfield game modes.
Conflict handling: The Tome says xEdit can help mod users and authors resolve potential conflicts between mods.
Cleaning: xEdit provides tools to clean mods of extraneous or duplicated references, fix deleted references, and merge plugins.
Error checking: Its Check for Errors function reports cases where module file information does not match xEdit record definitions.
Quick Auto Clean: Quick Auto Clean automates the cleaning process and saves between steps; the documentation says users can review changes after it completes.
Integrations: The cleaning guide describes configuring Quick Auto Clean with Mod Organizer 2, Vortex, and Wrye Bash.
LOOT: The cleaning workflow can produce a LOOT report, which users may share with the LOOT team.
Downloads: The project says its latest builds are available through the xEdit Discord #xedit-builds channel and that the archive supports all current game modes.
Support: The project directs users to its GitHub issue tracker for feature requests and bug reports, and says not to use it for general usage support.
Documentation: The project links to the Tome of xEdit, which provides a manual and detailed instructions for users and mod authors.
License: The GitHub repository identifies the project license as MPL-2.0.
Notable limit: The cleaning guide says plugins should be cleaned one file at a time because loading additional modules can prevent accurate ITM calculation.
