James,
I apologize, but I’m not sure I fully understand what you are asking? There is no “Edit” option under the Admin menu. What goal are you trying to achieve? What content are you wanting to edit?

If I go to my Admin section and then Content / Edit I can see all the content for my site. I can click on its title and go to its edit screen. What im wondering is if you can go to a ‘view’ screen, in other words see the content how it appears to visitors looking at the front end. Does that make sense? Thanks

James,
Right, ok, I’m with you now. You want to get a preview of your entry from within the Control Panel. There are a few add-ons that allow you to do this. Can you tell me what version of ExpressionEngine you are using? Then I can point you in the right direction.

James,
I can’t vouch for how well it will work, but I found this on Devot://ee. It seems to be exactly what you are asking for. Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

I would also suggest you check out Better Workflow. It is in beta but you may be able to get in.
I’m closing this for now. If you have any additional questions just let us know.
