How to edit ID3 tags?

(For all these years I've never had to ask a newbie question on a forum, but now it's suddenly time for this embarrassing thing.)

Following a recommendation I installed Foobar2000 just for one reason - to batch edit ID3 tags.

But... how do I edit tags?

I've now looked around for more than an hour in the application, the websites, wikis and forums, but still see no way of either seeing or editing tags. I expected me to find it somewhere sooner or later.
Masstagger was selected during installation, bur I see no menu item like  context menu > Tagging > Edit tags etc...
Perhaps I misunderstood and Foobar2000 was not a good choice for my mass tagging needs?

You can access the Masstagger via right-click, Tagging, Manage Scripts.

Also note the Properties dialog (right-click, Properties) which already covers many tagging-related tasks, such as editing individual titles of multiple tracks (screenshot), guessing values from the filenames (screenshot), and automatic track numbering (see its context menu).
