Need to edit a sharepoint page but there is no edit option

By peter.stilgoe

You need to edit a page in Sharepoint but the ‘Edit’ option is greyed out for example on a survey page.

Simply append NewForm.aspx with ?ToolPaneView=2 so it looks like

/NewForm.aspx?ToolPaneView=2

You now have your page in edit mode so you can add webparts etc
