Over the last week I received 2 separate private help requests from new users trying to enable a Gramplet for the first time.

One was for a beta version Gramplet. So it had the added complexity of [manually downloading & installation](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/5.1_Addons#Manually_installed_Addons).

Another was for the **Forms Gramplet**. So I took a run at clarifying the [**Adding the Gramplet**](https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Form_Addons#Adding_the_Forms_Gramplet) in that Gramplet’s wiki page.

## Some feedback and suggestions would be helpful.

The following mangles the formatting a bit but the text & links survive pasting to this Discourse forum.
