is this possible with spoon

[pdi_begineer]

hi
we usually develop transforms in spoon interface and end up having a xml file...
is the reverse possible? in the sense, if i edit the above xml file, my changing some attributes or values in the xml file, will it reflect on the steps in the spoon,...
is there any harm in doing this way..?

Perfectly acceptable as long as your changes make sense. If you edit the XML to be invalid or try to change the data type of a field to be "Bananas" then expect bad things to happen.
