This from the version 17 user guide

Activate the "Object FX" button of the small object, so that the declicker will only be applied on the area with the clicking sound.

hi

im using the latest version of audio cleaning lab..what i ment was in order to save changes to the file do you have to play the whole file for each cleaning option?i usually use 3 or 4 of the cleaning options.or can you play a few seconds of a music file and itll save the cleaned file?i usually do 78s more than lps but i do both..
