Navigate to Edit Page Quickly

Introduction
 
 In SharePoint there is a quick way to reach the edit page, directly, by just adding some query strings.
  
 Solution
 
 Whenever we want to make some changes in a page, in SharePoint, we need to edit it, which probably takes a quite a couple of clicks in the Site Action--> Edit Page. And this method does consume some time, especially if it is SharePoint 2010. The reason being, in SharePoint 2010 a page and a ribbon take a lot of time to load.
 
 To avoid the trouble we have a simple query string and we have to use that right after the URL of any page you want to edit.
 
 For Instance, we are in the home page.


http://nestle/myteamsite/default.aspx

In the address bar just append query string ToolPaneView=2.

And now the address bar will be

http://nestle/myteamsite/default.aspx?ToolPaneView=2

Whenever you hit the enter button it will take you to the edit page. And if the page is not checked then a pop-up will appear to check-out the page.

Conclusion

This way we are done editing the page quickly.
