**Description of your request or bug report:** There used to be an edit icon on activities, but it seems to have disappeared? ![Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 10.56.57](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/f/fd5c74e792db783d6d2800f3bcebd83ddd65f544.png) It’s like this on my dashboard and on the book page. I can’t find any way to edit activity anymore. Usually I do a progress update and then edit the activity update to manually set the starting page. If I do a progress update it always puts the starting page as the previous update’s ending page, but it doesn’t work like that for manga. If I read to page 78 in one session, I’ll start on page 79 the next session. So this is why I would really like activity editing to come back, because I also can’t add anymore activities myself outside of the progress update mechanic. (Btw, does that mean I won’t be able to easily batch add old reading progress via a book’s activity section? 😕 ) And I just noticed I also can’t remove spurious activities anymore, only ‘hide’ them (but then I still see them, so that’s also ruffling my neuroticism). ![Screenshot 2023-07-02 at 11.01.54](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/f/f8ab18d8d8188aa36a95f506f6c4081980c3b44d.png) **Trello link:** https://trello.com/c/noSzJmtC.html ---

It is possible but it’s not very obvious how to do it. 1. Go to the Book and open additional options. ![image](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/4/4cca6ab8a92ce83cf4c0ada0258298502cf04dda.jpeg) 1. Select data manager ![image](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/3a7b928f870e9ac2e1a552c76bcaa141cd99262a.png) 1. Press on the pen on the activity you want to edit. ![image](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/3/34982aa5aa76be446745cb09631505d4f6b97c0e.png) 1. Update / Delete buttons become available ![image](https://do4ryrayvtpwi.cloudfront.net/original/2X/0/0e358650c2547ef13a57f3cc15b40fd277f9a8e5.png) ---

@brandon > [@Product Updates & Casual Natively Discussion](http://forums.learnnatively.com/t/product-updates-casual-natively-discussion/18/1041): > > I got to work faster sweat_smile You can still edit activities in the data manager. I should reincorporate that pencil to drop yuo into the datamanager, yeah thinking You can access the data manager via the additional options / book editor pop up → toggle ‘basic info’ to data manager. Based on this PR and what you said, you want me to create a trelloto resurface the pen to direct to the data manager, or is too small to get a trello? ---
