<li>Before editing the layer need to be set as editable. To do this, make sure the '''Digitizing''' toolbar is visible (it should be by default).</li>
<Select the layer you want to edit in the layer control and then in the toolbar choose the '''Toggle Editing''' as shown below./li>

With the layer editable, a new object can be drawn with the '''Add Feature''' button (the symbol for this depends on if the layer contains lines, points or region!). To move an existing vertex in a layer, the '''Node Tool''' can be used.

==Attributes==
There are a number of methods to set the attributes for a GIS object:
* Select the '''Identify Features''' button in the toolbar, select an item, and in the dialogue select '''Actions >>> Edit Feature Form'''.

* It is also possible to enter this directly in the attribute table for the entire layer (right click on the layer and select '''Open Attribute Table'''.

Entering data on multiple objects is covered in the [[QGIS_Update_Column_Values | QGIS update column value tip]].
