How does it work?

I joined. I receive an email every week. It usually directs me to someone in my tree. I find many errors in my tree and can / will correct them and even explain why the information is incorrect, but I have yet to find a way to do that or to add information. Nor have I found any information about how to manage, add to, make corrections to a tree. I would think the basic first step for FS would be to present something that explains how the website works, what individuals can and can't do. If it is in the website, I have not been able to find it.
