  1. Navigate to the Toolbar in Design or Build mode

  2. Select the Text Tool

  4. Type the desired text in the text box

Once the text is added, select the text box in the Layers Panel, then navigate to the Inspector Panel to make adjustments to the text/text box, including:

  • Setting text box positioning, sizing, and scaling properties

  • Adjusting text box padding

  • Changing font attributes
