Every feature

The complete list of what Edit mode does, each linked to the page that explains it. Checked against the code by the docs tests.

This page lists everything Edit mode can do and where it's explained. tests/docs.test.ts checks it against the code: every sequence command in the registry must have a row here that links to a page, every kind of edit must be in the edits table on Agent, CLI, API and plugins, every blend mode on Layering and blending, and every Edit shortcut on Keyboard. A new feature without docs fails the build.

The composition commands (motion.newComposition, motion.editComposition, motion.getCompositions), sound (motion.addAudio, motion.generateAudio), generate.video and the exports are listed on Animate's feature list; Edit uses them for new sequences, V1's order and transitions, sound and export.
