Editions dropdown (available at the top right once you log in) in Asite helps you select a context (from a given list of options) for which you are using Asite at any given time. Accordingly, you get a tab arrangement or view specific to that context - without any specific functional impact on different features you use in your Asite account.
For example, a contractor working at a construction site may be more involved with the 'Field' tab in Asite (when compared to other tabs), so they can set the 'Field' edition as their default edition by selecting it from the 'Editions' dropdown. It will ensure the 'Field' tab will remain easily accessible to that user the next time they log in.
The 'Dashboard' tab will remain the default landing area irrespective of the selected edition.
