You shouldn't have to manually add the Edit tab, it should appear automatically.

The Edit tab should show up when you open a map.

For example, here I am in the Catalog View. The ribbon displays the "Catalog" tab with catalog-related tools. This tab only shows up in the Catalog view.

When I open the map, the ribbon switches the tabs to the ones appropriate for maps, including the "Edit" tab:
