I want to allow anonymous users to edit a Confluence page with me. I’ve tried multiple times but haven’t succeeded. I am the account admin.

Hi @toki_cai and welcome to the Community.

You can do that in Settings - like this.

Having said that... I do not recommend it.

If you allow anonymous users to edit pages, then ANYONE on the internet will be able to do edit AND create new pages.

Including bots. 

There was a case here on Community when a forgotten setting like this resulted in thousands of new pages being created by a bot.

Thank you @Kristian Klima 
I have checked the admin level setting and space level setting as you said. But anonymous users still can't edit. I want to have some brain storm by different people in the internet.

@toki_cai 

Just to make sure, what you're sharing with them is standard confluence link, smth like https://[site].atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PPTC/pages/267288648/

Not an anonymous link like https://[site].atlassian.net/wiki/x/SIDuDw?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiNzA1OThjYmRlMjA2NGNjMWI1NjlmYjhkMTZhM2E4NGYiLCJwIjoiYyJ9

If you're sure you're doing everything right and it still doesn't work, you'd better contact https://support.atlassian.com/contact/
