 ===== Editing A City =====
+The most simple action one can take with the City Editor is to edit an existing city. Simply select the city from the Current City's list ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview1.png?linkonly |#10 in this picture}}). Edit the data you wish to change on the left ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview2.png?linkonly |#8 in this picture}}).   Then hit "Save" at the bottom left of the screen ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview1.png?linkonly |#14 in this picture}}).
+That's it! Click "Save City List" overwrite the file you wish to overwrite, and you've successfully edited and saved the new City.xml file.
+**Please note, you may wish to enable Interpolation tools if you are editing an existing map or mod file's Population, Per Capita, or Manufacturing skills. Otherwise the growth rates between City.xml files will be incorrect. See the [[modtools:cityeditor#Interpolation_Years_and_Values| Interpolation Helper Tool]] for more details. **

 ===== Adding A City =====
+Whether adding a new city to an existing city.xml file used in a map or mod, or adding cities to a city.xml file created from scratch, the process is the same.
+Be sure the City ID is unique value, otherwise you will be editing an existing city. To be sure, click the "New" button ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview1.png?linkonly | #11 in this picture}}).
+Fill out the data on the left hand side. When you're ready to add the city, click the "Save" button ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview1.png?linkonly | #2 in this picture}}). There you go. You've added a city to the Current Cities list.
+**Please Note, if you're adding cities to an existing city.xml file that has other files that depend on it, you should use the Auto Adjusters to reduce your work load. See [[modtools:cityeditor#automatic_adjusters|Automatic Adjuster Helper]] for more details.**

 ===== Removing A City =====
+To remove a city, click the city from the current city's list ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview1.png?linkonly | #10 in this picture}}) then click the "Remove" button ({{ :modtools:cityeditor_overview1.png?linkonly | #13 in this picture}}). And that's it!
+**Please Note, if you're removing cities to an existing city.xml file that has other files that depend on it, you should use the Auto Adjusters to reduce your work load. See [[modtools:cityeditor#automatic_adjusters|Automatic Adjuster Helper]] for more details.**
