When you have a list of unused places. How can you edit them and get them back in the used places list. I have searched the help. It didn’t answer my question.

I think you might be missing the definition of “un-used” place it means no people/facts/sources etc are using that exact place name. If you have multiple places that are slight variances but are really the same place – you might need to merge them. If they are truly not needed you can removed them or save them for later if you might use them
