Problem:
How to create a front-end Form for user's to edit posts?
Solution:
The Form itself is very much like a form to publish posts, and if you already have a form to publish posts you could duplicate it, then edit it and change the first setting that specifies it is to edit content.
The difference between post and edit forms is in how they are displayed.
The post forms can be inserted directly onto a page.
Edit forms need to be "hosted" inside a template, and then that template linked to.
If you are using Layouts, that would be a Template Layout (unassigned to any post type), and if you are not using Layouts, then that would be a Content Template (also unassigned to any post type).
That is described in the second section: https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/#2-create-a-content-template-for-displaying-the-editing-form
From there, you would continue with inserting links to your form, as described in the subsequent steps.
