Open Edit View of SharePoint Pages without the "Edit Page" button

In some cases the "Edit Page" button is not visible too make sure no one makes some unallowed changes. This is a nice security hack, but what if you need to edit the page? There is an easy way to open the page in edit mode and that is the URL. Add one of the following extensions to your URL, right after the '.aspx'.

To change the public view of the page add this:
?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2

example: http://sp/Pages/default.aspx?PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2

To change a personal view of the page add this (only if it is enabled):
?PageView=Personal&ToolPaneView=2

example: http://sp/Pages/default.aspx?PageView=Personal&ToolPaneView=2
