+Using a model formset in a view
+-------------------------------
+
+Model formsets are very similar to formsets. Lets say we want to present a
+formset to a user to edit ``Author`` model instances::
+
+ def manage_authors(request):
+ AuthorFormSet = modelformset_factory(Author)
+ if request.POST == 'POST':
+ formset = AuthorFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
+ if formset.is_valid():
+ formset.save()
+ # do something.
+ else:
+ formset = AuthorFormSet()
+ render_to_response("manage_authors.html", {
+ "formset": formset,
+ })
+
+As you can see the view is not drastically different than how to use a formset
+in a view. The only difference is that we call ``formset.save()`` to save the
+data into the database. This was describe above in
:ref:`ref-saving-objects-in-the-formset`.
+
Using ``inlineformset_factory``
