I found a good helpful page about editing. Is editing the same as formatting? And what is page layout?

Best answer
'Editing' is when you make a change to a profile.
'Formatting' is how you do it.
Two pages for you to read
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:How_to_Edit_a_Profile
and
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Editing_Tips
