the late introduction of dialogs seemed condescending. changed to make "edit dialogs" seem a more specific variation. Added specific links to each subsection to simplify navigation.
As we have been shown, Gramps offers you a series of Views. Each of these Views gives you opportunities to enter and edit information. In fact, you can often get to the same information from different Views.
In Gramps, information is entered and edited through what we call Edit dialogs. Since we use that term frequently, we should define what we mean by it:
A An Edit dialog is a pop-up window that provides one or more forms for entering and editing data that fits a certain category. Examples in Gramps include the {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog and the {{man label|Family Editor}} dialog, among many others.
A An Edit dialog often includes a series of "notebook tabs" that group the information into subcategories. For example, the {{man label|Edit Person}} dialog has notebook tabs for subcategories such as Events, Attributes, Addresses, and Notes, among others.
{{man note|1=Add, Remove, and Edit buttons|2=In most cases, Gramps uses a {{man button|+}} to correspond to {{man button|Add}} , a {{man button|-}} correspond to {{man button|Remove}} , and an icon of a pen on a sheet of paper to denote {{man button|Edit}}. We will continue referring to the latter as the {{man button|Edit+}} button, while using {{man button|+}} and {{man button|-}} to denote the two former buttons.}}
