My current profile → summary view: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/f/e/9/fe949024f94618054051c64240d7401e6cf8bd1c.png) Proposal: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/a/3/d/a3db9d54d7aca5ddb912079d00056162b661e5ba.png) I’m mostly thinking about the Profile → Summary page here. Reasoning: We had a user without a technical background who wanted to upload a profile picture. They clicked their profile, went to the user icon ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/3/d/7/3d7f7b8ce0dcd54eaaa25530b6b864eaffc9fa4b.png) which takes them to the summary page. They did not proceed to preferences - presumably because there is already so much information on the summary page that preferences was not immediately obvious. I’m wondering if it makes sense to add a small edit button next to the profile information on that page? Not a high priority change, wouldn’t impact many users, but might be a nice touch to make it easier for users with less of a technical background. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/would-an-edit-button-next-to-the-user-profile-picture-to-make-it-easier-for-new-users-to-upload-a-profile-picture/330255)._
