> **TIP**
New to FMRTE? Start with [Your first edit](https://docs.fmrte.com/getting-started/first-edit.md).

Open a player to see their pages on the left. Use this overview to find the right tab

![Player Information with the player tabs on the left](https://docs.fmrte.com/img/fmrte27/players/player-tab.png)

The compact header lets you edit CA/PA and Asking Price without leaving the current section. Contract wage/expiry and current/potential rating are shown as summaries. Edit the contract in Contract. [Player ratings](https://docs.fmrte.com/players/ratings.md) explains the ratings. [Header images](https://docs.fmrte.com/graphics-and-files/custom-images.md) can show a portrait.
