Is there any way to edit text after its been placed? Right now you have to write out text then hit next and place it then hit done. If its not right i am deleting it and starting all over again. Is there a better way to do this?

Currently there is no way to edit text. The way you are doing it is the only way.

I suspect they’d need to add history at the sketch level, at least internally, for editable text to be implemented.
