The edit option allows you to edit a resource from within the Resources tool. If you want to edit an existing resource, you can either revise it or replace it, depending on the type of resource. You can revise plain text and HTML documents; for other document types, the edit option only allows you to revise the information about the resource (e.g., the description), or replace the document's contents (e.g., replace a picture or URL). You can only replace document content with documents you upload from your own computer, one at a time.
To edit a resource:

button
beside "Replace with this file:". A confirmation screen will appear asking if
you are sure you want to delete the item. Click Delete
