How to edit entities

Making edits to existing entities is an imortant process for all contributors. Information submitted at time of creation can be rushed or incomplete - which is fine! it's always difficult to account for everything in one go - as a result we need to make edits when we see errors / missing information.

How to edit Areas 🖊​

You may see an edit button for areas in a number of places. But the clearest way to go about it is to search for an area, or navigate to it from a nearby one. In our example, we're going to navigate to the Mazama area in Okanogan, Washington

If you're logged in, you'll see an Edit button for this area.

step 1

Go ahead and expand the edit menu, and take a look at the available options.

step 2

Here we see

  1. Edit - This will take us to the edit window and allow us to make changes to the data on this area
  2. Add new area - This is the easiest way to add child areas.
  3. Delete this area - This is greyed out because deletion of areas with climbs still in them is prohibited

We'll click "Edit", and take a look at the edit window.

step 3

Here we can modify existing fields and make additions where we need to. Make the changes that you came to make, and hit Save to commit those changes.

step 4

We're done! 🎉🎉🎉 If you head over to the global history page you can see that our changes appear in the global history
