-Editing the CERL Thesaurus
+===== 4 Editing the CERL Thesaurus =====
-.1 Selecting an Editor
+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:editing1.png?300|editing}}
-.2 Using the Form Based Editor
+At the bottom of every record you will find the buttons that allow you to edit the data in the CERL Thesaurus (if you have the necessary access rights, that is). This follows the principle that things that are important to every user are placed on the top of the screen and items that are of importance only to the CERL appointed editors are a bit more hidden away at the bottom.
-.3 Using the CT Internal Format Editor
+Depending on your editing rights, there can be up to three icons:
-.4 Using the YAML Editor
+The rightmost, that shows a small rubbish bin, will **delete** the record. Please be careful with this one, you will be asked for confirmation (twice, acutally) before the record is deleted, but once you have confirmed that, it is gone for good.
-.5 Deduplicating Records
+The middle one, showing two sheets of paper, will make a **copy** of the record and open it in the form based editor. This might be useful if you are creating a number of very similar records and want to save some time typing the same things in over and over. Although, this is probably more of use in the other databases living in this hosting environment than to the CERL Thesaurus.
+The leftmost button, showing a notepad and a pencil, will open the current record for **editing**. There are currently four different editors available, according to your editing rights you will presented a list where you can pick the one that is best for what you want to do with the record.

+{{ :resources:cerl_thesaurus:editing:editing2.png?300|Choose and editing client}}
+If your account has complete editing rights on the CERL Thesaurus, you will be shown the following selection of editing clients. Each of it has its strengths and weaknesses and you may want to choose the client you want to use according to the things you want to edit in the record and according to how close you feel to the Thesaurus's internal format.
