An image can always be added to any gallery by using

<title>Editing Data: Complete Description</title>
|

<para>
|
||||
This section provides a complete description of all editing
|
||||
options for all pieces of data in the &app; database. It refers
|
||||
mainly to the menu items and buttons as the main way of
|
||||
interacting with &app;. In addition to this, &app; provides an
|
||||
extensive set of keybindings. The detailed reference to the
|
||||
keybindings is found in the <xref linkend="append-keybind"/>.
|
||||
The previous section offered you a quick overview of how to enter
|
||||
and edit data in GRAMPS. This section continues that discussion in
|
||||
much greater detail.
|
||||
</para><para>
|
||||
As we have seen above, 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.
|
||||
</para><para>
|
||||
In GRAMPS, information is entered and edited through what we call
|
||||
dialogs. Since we use that term frequently, we should define what
|
||||
we mean by it:
|
||||
</para><para>
|
||||
A 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 Edit Person dialog and the
|
||||
Marriage/Relationship dialog, among many others.
|
||||
</para><para>
|
||||
A dialog often includes a series of "notebook tabs" that
|
||||
group the information into subcategories. For example, the Edit
|
||||
Person dialog has notebook tabs for subcategories such as Events,
|
||||
Attributes, Addresses, and Notes, among others.

In order to save precious screen space, most of the
|
||||
<guibutton>Add</guibutton>, <guibutton>Remove</guibutton>,
|
||||
and <guibutton>Edit</guibutton> buttons no longer are labeled
|
||||
with text. Instead, the first two use
|

<guibutton>+</guibutton> and <guibutton>-</guibutton> icons,

and the third uses the icon depicting a pen on top of a paper
|

sheet.

<guibutton>Edit</guibutton> button, while using
|
||||
<guibutton>+</guibutton> and <guibutton>-</guibutton> to
|
||||
denote the former two buttons.
|
||||
In most cases, GRAMPS uses a <guibutton>+</guibutton> to
|
||||
correspond to <guibutton>Add</guibutton>, a
|
||||
<guibutton>-</guibutton> correspond to
|
||||
<guibutton>Remove</guibutton>, and an icon of a pen on a sheet
|

of paper to denote <guibutton>Edit</guibutton>. We will continue

referring to the latter as the <guibutton>Edit</guibutton>
|

button, while using <guibutton>+</guibutton> and

<guibutton>-</guibutton> to denote the two former buttons.
