What is the first step Dr. Smith takes to open a report for editing in the Reporting Workbench Library?

To open a report for editing in the Reporting Workbench Library, the initial step involves holding the cursor over the report and then clicking on the Edit option. This method directly places the user in editing mode, allowing immediate modifications to be made to the selected report.

By utilizing the hover and click strategy, the user engages with the specific report more interactively, ensuring that they are ready to edit right from the context menu that appears. This approach is designed to streamline the editing process by allowing users to manage their reports with greater efficiency and minimal navigation.

Other methods, such as clicking directly on the report's name, might take the user to a view mode rather than leading straight to editing. Similarly, searching for the report or selecting the My Reports tab serves purposes related to locating or organizing reports but does not facilitate direct editing.
