Edit and Quick Edit

Everything in the admin interface can be considered a "record". A product is a record. A customer account is a record, etc. There are many types of records in the admin interface, and most of them can be edited. For example, you can edit a product and change the retail price of that product.

There are two types of editing in the admin interface: "quick edit" and "full edit". Some types of records only have quick edit. Some types of records have both quick edit and full edit mode.
