The toolbar button for launching the external editor? It's explained in the user guide. The default keyboard shortcut for it is F2. But keep in mind that it's designed as an external xhtml editor. Use the Open With feature to define/launch external editors for other file types. You can right-click on files in the Book Browser to do that.

All will be watched and Sigil updated whenever the external editor is saved/closed.

The main thing is to stay out of Sigil's temporary working directory. Manually messing with those files while Sigil is running is strenuously discouraged.
