The “Edit” link on top of an Article page (to the right of “Discussion”) is the best way to edit the Article body.
 
Once you click “Edit,” there are two ways to edit Articles that you can toggle between using the pencil icon: Visual editing and Source editing.
 
“Visual editing” refers to editing content directly on a screen, seeing the changes as you make them, similar to a word processor, while “Source editing” involves modifying the underlying code (like HTML) that generates the content.
 
===== Visual editing =====

This is a simple way to edit your Article body visually. The body will appear close to how readers will see it, with some exceptions such as multimedia or the use of templates. ''(See also: [[Project:Observatory Users Manual#Source editing (code)|Source editing (code)]].)''
 
===== Source editing (code) =====

This requires knowledge of the markup language (wikitext). It is how you edit “under the hood.” Your editor can assist you with Source editing. ''(See also: [[Project:Observatory Users Manual#Visual editing|Visual editing]].)''
