- Position and resize.
- Configure from the Properties Panel to style.
To edit Text directly, double click the Text Element on the Layout and type into the text box. A right click on this element also includes an Edit Text option to edit directly rather than from the Properties Panel.
Global Elements can be used on their own or used to complement existing content already added to the Layout.
