The menu that pops up allows you to change attributes for the groups labelled 'Key Lights', 'Bounce Lights', "Fill Lights', and 'Rim Lights'. To update all lights in the desired group, click the 'Update' button at the bottom of the window.
If you want a light to not be affected by any of the update buttons, on the 'Light Grouping' attribute, selected "Independent Light".
If you change the Light Grouping attribute while the menu window is open, click the "Update Light Groups" button, and then you can continue to update the light attributes.
