I wish to add a button on the admin dashboard in Joomla 3.5, where in code do I need to make changes?

Question

This button would be 'share' and placed at the article editor just like we have buttons like 'save','edit' etc I facing a problem understanding joomla code structure and which file I need to make changes so as to add this button. Should it be administrator/layout/editor/ ?
