Grease Pencil: Edit Mode: Introduction: Toolbar - incorrect information on how to select stroke elements
Grease Pencil: Edit Mode: Introduction - Toolbar

Present Documentionation states:

When you select a stroke and Tab into Edit Mode, the Toolbar changes from Object Tools to Stroke editing Tools. These are only some of the stroke editing tools.

As for as I know, there is no way to select a Grease Pencil stroke outside of Edit Mode.
Meaning, As far as I know, the only way the sentence could be correct in the documentation, would be if 3D Viewport was in Object Mode and you selected a Grease Pencil Object and then Tab into Edit Mode
( Please correct me if I'm wrong....I would love to be able to select Grease Pencil Object/elements in one of the 5 Modes Grease Pencil can be in (other than Tab Mode) and then have the Object/element selected by default)

I would like to submit a change to Grease Pencil: Edit Mode: Introduction: Toolbar:

When you select a Grease Pencil Object while in Object Mode and then Tab into Edit Mode, the Toolbar changes from Object Tools to Stroke editing Tools. These are only some of the stroke editing tools.

Note:
The Grease Pencil has 6 Modes to edit different aspect of a Grease Pencil Object ( Object, Edit, Sculpt, Draw Vertex,Weight). Clicking Tab while in any of these Modes will toggle to Edit Mode and the Toolbar changes from the current modes Tools to the editing Tools.

Thank you Blender community for making blender as good as it can be.

It is possible to select strokes outside of edit mode, for example in sculpt mode. See https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/grease_pencil/modes/sculpting/introduction.html#sculpting-options for the selection masking options.
