Hi Jess,
Thank you for your post.
If you would like to add an edit link to your content view, you should:
- add a "free text" field to your content view. You can set as default value the texte "edit"
- click on button "2" and select option "Form"
PS : when you click on the edit link, you will be redirected to the form defined by the "site form" view of your content type.
Regards,
Mehdi.
