What is VisualEditor?
Visual Editor is a editing software used in the March 2016 upgrade of the FamilySearch Research Wiki. This editor replaces the Rich Text Editor used in the previous version of the Wiki. This new way of editing allows all users to edit pages without learning wikitext. In additional, VisualEditor works in most commonly-used browsers such as Chorme, Fireforx, Internet Explorer 10 or higher, and Safari.

When to Use Visual Editor
Use VisualEditor when you want to use the following:
 * Edit text on a page
 * Edit text on a table
 * Add or fix a URL
