8) Once clicked you will be redirected to DNS records page of  piconsulting.com  as shown in screenshot.
9) The above screenshot doesn't shows the DNS records because NS are pointing to cloudlfare and so they are managed at cloudflare end.
10) Next take us an example of  picadmin.com . It's DNS records are managed by godaddy because NS is pointed towards godaddy itself. For this domain we can edit DNS records easily. Please check screenshot.

4) To edit/add/delete DNS records in cloudflare, we have to login into cloudflare.
5) Login into cloudflare.  https://dash.cloudflare.com/login 
6) Once logged in, click on the account you want to manage. Let us take an example of pghinternetconsulting account.
