Help How does one remove or edit a primary shortcut?

[Lord Vader]

In customizing my mom's brand new EPIC, I need to delete two of the primary shortcuts at the bottom of the screen and replace them. However, I've searched the entire manual and around this forum and have been unable to find out how to do this.

Anyone know how?

If you long press them, does that bring up any additional options?

No. I think I stumbled across how to do it. I'm trying this: go to applications, then menu, then edit, then remove one of the primary shortcuts, then press and hold one of the apps above and drag it into the primary shortcuts bar.

Excellent

In my case the Primary Shrortcuts were only possible, and could only be edited with the Home Screen Mode set to Easy. Setting the Home Screen Mode to Basic gave me only the Apps icon in the Primary Shortcut area, and any attempts to add any other app resulted in the app's icon bouncing back into the main home screen area. That is, I could not add or alter any primary shortcuts.
Which is ironic as the "basic" mode is described as "provides conventional layout for the apps and widgets on your home screens."
