A quick question

The times I’ve tried working with armatures (or is it bones, I dont understand the diffrence) I have never been able to figure out how to attatch individual vertices to the armature, whenever I add one, blender goes into object mode and creates a new object, and of course I cant edit both the mesh and the armature at once, so I am unable to do anything but attatch the entire object to the armature. I have no doubt that I’m simply overlooking something obvious, but I cant seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance.

An Armature is a “collection” of bones.
