To edit the text in a SmartArt graphic what must be done first

Answer 1

To edit the text in a SmartArt graphic, you must first click on the SmartArt graphic to select it. Once it is selected, you can then do one of the following to edit the text:

1. Use the Text Pane: If the Text Pane is visible, you can type directly into it. If it's not visible, you can click the small arrow on the left side of the SmartArt graphic to open it.

2. Edit Directly on the Graphic: Click on the shapes within the SmartArt graphic where you want to edit the text, and then you can type directly into those shapes.

After that, you can make any necessary modifications to the text as needed.
