To use world edit, you first have to do //wand. You should then get a wooden axe. It won't work if you just get a wooden axe out of your inventory though. Once you do //wand, you left click on one block, and then right click on another. Then use //set [Block/Block ID] to change all the blocks within your region selection to that block. Say, if you left click one corner of the floor in a room, and you right click the other corner, and do //set Wood, it'll change the whole floor to wood.
I'm not entirely sure any ranks are able to use World Edit though, but I hoped this helped.
