 ===== 1. How to select and open the form based editor =====
+There are currently three different editing clients available for the CERL Theaurus: a form-based editor, an editor using the Unimarc-based so called CT internal format (which was the internal format of the previous database system) and an editor showing the record in YAML (which is much closer to the current internal format).
+When clicking on the editing icon at the bottom of a record's full display, you will be asked, which editor you would like to use. This document is trying to give you some help when using the first option, the form-based editor.
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:formedit1.png?700 |Choose an editor}}
 ===== 2. The two main sections =====
+CERL Thesaurus records contain two types of data. One is information about the entity, i.e. the person, place, printer etc, which is described by the record and the other is information about the record itself (like its editing history, possible duplicates etc).
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:formedit2.png?700 |two main sections}}
+In the old CT internal format this distinction was not as clearly visible as it is in the current interface. The form based editor displays each type of information in a separate form. Both forms are folded/collapsed when the editor is opened. You can open them by clicking on the label that reads "Description of the Entity" or "Description of the Record".
+Below the second form you see the buttons for **saving** (Save) the record or **leaving it without saving** (Cancel).
 ===== 3. Simple Fields =====
