Tell us what you are trying to do?
To create a site where multiple cred forms can be used for the client to populate the various sections of the website via CPT's. I need the client to be able to have access to each form but I'm not sure how that would work. Do they have to log in? I just don't have the visual of where these forms would reside. They would need to be able to edit them as data changed.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I wanted to ask if the above was possible before I dug in. I did watch this video first to get reacquainted with Cred.

I have just realized that I need two different types of posts that I need clients to be able to use Cred for.
1) For regular blog posts
2) To change data fields (like height and weight).
Of course, with regular blog/news posts, each entry would follow the last. But with the data fields, I only want one instance of that and only needs those fields changed. How can I do this?
Hello,
You can setup access to the different CRED form for each wordpress user role, even it is a non-logged in user, see our document:
Access Control for CRED Forms
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/access-control-for-cred-forms/
Below is a link that takes you through a step to make a CRED form editable. (This is a video from 2014, so I am not sure if it is current). You have to physically clone it and add a button to each form that, I believe, is only visible to the client (who has signed in).
The scenario I am seeking is for clients to be able to create their own news/blog posts and then have the ability to be able to edit them if need be. Is there a way that I do not have to manually set up each blog post for them to edit after they submit a post? For instance, if they quickly decide that they would like to change some wording, they could do so much like we do here on FB. Of course, they would be able to create multiple blog posts. It would not be possible for me to keep up with multiple clients this way if I had to manually do something for each post they created.

For the question:
create their own news/blog posts and then have the ability to be able to edit them if need be
Yes, it is possible within CRED + Views plugins, for example, for a logged-in wordpress user
1) Display a CRED form for creating post
2) Display a post view, filter by:
Post author is the same as the logged in user

In the loop, display a link of CRED form for editing post:

For your reference.
