 * What’s the purpose of this new Edit Snippet being added to the admin menu in 
   the recent Version 3.10.0? I select it and it prompts me to simply create a new
   snippet.

 * Hi [@lookwhoo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lookwhoo/),
 * This extra menu item should only appear when you are currently editing a snippet,
   simply to show which page you are on. As you discovered, due to a limitation 
   in how the WordPress admin menu works, selecting it will just lead you to the
   Add New Page.

 * I don’t follow. It’s showing globally in the menu dropdown even when I’m not 
   currently editing a snippet.
 * I’m using Admin Menu Editor pro and there’s some other admin users I don’t want
   accessing the Snippets area, at all. This new addition adds that menu after I’ve
   assigned that whole area hidden upon the recent update. I can hide that too but
   I’m just not understanding why it’s there when we can access the edit inside 
   the Snippets dashboard.
