Can you edit text once you've written it on the tabletop?

Hi there, I'm a GM new to Roll20 and so far I've been finding the tools quite useful. I'm finding that I want to keep some of my GM notes on the table for quick reference so that I'm not looking at notebooks or other windows while playing the game. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit text on the VTT once I've written it and that makes notetaking or writing reminders extremely frustrating. I've definitely seen people do this online, but can't seem to find the right combination of keystrokes or button presses to make it work. Any help anyone could offer would be much appreciated!

Hi Thomas, once you committed some text to the table you will need to use the 'select' (the arrow) tool to access that text again. Select the text box and then double click to enter 'edit' mode. Hope that helps!
HA! I knew you had to use the select tool, but can't believe I didn't think of double-clicking. Must have tried every key on my keyboard but I never thought of the most basic mouse interaction. Now I know what my parents feel like when they ask me inane computer questions. Thanks so much for the quick reply!

No problem, at least I didn't tell you to try turning it off and on again ;) I've updated the wiki to include the info on how to edit text once added to the VTT since it was missing so thanks for highlighting that oversight :)
