My team designs complex, data-dense UIs—absolutely packed with text layers. It’s wild.

We’re typically subject matter experts in our business area, but our job is to craft narratives that stakeholders can actually follow. To do that, we rely heavily on our PM partners to tell us how to label charts, buttons, lists—you name it—to help sell the concept.

So why should viewers be able to edit text directly?

Simple: efficiency. Instead of waiting on a PM or stakeholder to respond to a comment with the right copy—then having to copy/paste it into the right layer—just let the person with the right info update it themselves. Asynchronously. This would save us a ton of time during implementation and eliminate the endless back-and-forth over wording.

Thanks

there should be a writers mode to make it easier for writers to go in and add copy. I think it would be hard for some writers to add copy due to sometimes the layers of opjects they would need to wade through to get down to the right text object.
