# Edit Layers Geometries

Layers geometries can be edited using editing tools and specific functions related to WKT format features. The user must have permissions to edit the layer data.

Editing tools are accessed from the dockable **Edition** window and include tools for drawing cartographic elements (points, lines, polygons, texts, etc.), a selection tool and tools for adding, moving and erasing nodes.

WKT functions are accessed from both the **Tools** menu and the context menu.
