This document will not go into the detail that is covered by the official QGIS User Guide and Training Manuals and other reference books (e.g. Graser 2016) on QGIS on topics like editing etc., but will discuss those tools used particularly in geological mapping, mineral exploration and remote sensing. See this video for an explanation of some of the advanced editing functions.
