The Editor
As of Greasemonkey 4.0, due to limits in the WebExtension API surface, only an embedded editor is available.
The script itself is listed in the editor's first tab.
Any @require or @resource files will be listed in additional tabs.
Press Ctrl-S (or click the floppy disk icon at top left) to save any changes.
That's It!

What can get difficult, however, is working with the quirks and limitations that the script runs under; Some things that work perfectly in a normal web page, copied and pasted directly to a user script suddenly fail. It's important to know how the environment the scripts run in works.
