I would suggest an additional careful reading of the documentation now that you have logged some time with the program. In my opinion, some of the documentation accurately describes the program, but does not necessarily make it clear the full extent of some of the features when read the first time, and I think the documentation for the Edit button falls into this category.

As I recall, earlier versions had a separate Edit button for the sidebar until they were combined — anyone who used that version naturally understands how the current one works, including the person(s) who wrote and reviewed the documentation. You can feel better about not spotting the right way to do this operation in this case, as looking at the documentation, I see that it still describes the old method! I'll file a bug report on that...
