[Qgis-user] shapefile editing

[Firstname Lastname]

i have imported a shapefile.   When i do so, i would like to edit the line
data.  The file is a simple line file with 3 lines in it.  how do i copy
the file such that it is not linked to the original shapefile so that i
can edit this new line without altering the original file?
After importing the shapefile, i am unable to select the line and toggle
editing.
how does one copy an existing shapefile without it linked to original data
and how can i activate it for editing?
