Hi Jake,
When someone tries to update the number of records using inline editing then the number of records involved in the update operation becomes the size of Trigger.New.Size()...So in the same way when someone tries to update the two records using inline editing then the Trigger.New.Size() becomes 2.

Thanks

Hi Jake,
Trigger.New is a List Collection Type. On List Collection we can do a Size method.
When you do a Insert or Update one record at a time, then the size will be 1. But when you try to do a Bulk update or bulk Import, the Trigger.Size will be >1. Normally when you write a Trigger will consider the both scenarios like Single record Updates/Insert or Multiple records Updates/Insert.
I hope this will help.

Thanks,
Narendar

Hi Jake, Narendra's explanation is enough to understand it. You can refer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaWPI0LCQDM this video to know more about inline editing.
