Thanks for the thoughts, Jeff. I understand your reasoning, so perhaps the best course of action is to modify the example documentation. The "Edit a document" section of the SAF Guide (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider.html#edit) states that to "edit a text document in place", the correct choice is ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT. Based on what you are saying, since ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT allows you to pick an existing file, that is the better choice for "in place editing".
The guide should probably either be changed to reflect ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT for editing, or to indicate that using ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT should include a branch check on FLAG_SUPPORTS_WRITE to determine if the edit can happen in place, or if ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT will need to be used anyway to create a new file for the edit changes.
