Editing line vertices

PaulLandry

I am new to ArcGIS Online and have watched many tutorials and promotional videos. I have seen point shape files being edited by dragging points to a new location. What I would like to do is edit the vertices in a line shapefile. I've played around quite a bit in my trial version of ArcGIS Online and found that I can add new lines to a line layer, but I can't seem to be able to edit the vertices in an existing shape. This is something I really need to be able to do because I have people working in the field who will be doing this type of editing. How do we go about doing this?

Double click on the line with the Edit Tool. The vertices of the line will appear. You can now grab them with the same tool and move them.

Also if you select a line you can use the reshape feature tool to change the shape of the line and it will place new vertices where you click when placing it

Robert, never mind. Figured it out! Thanks again!

Robert,
Thanks for the reply! I wasn't zoomed in enough. After zooming in more, I found that the mouse pointer will change to a hand icon. Clicking with that icon gets you into edit feature geometry mode. You mentioned the "Reshape Feature" tool. Where is that? In edit mode, all I see is the "New Feature" tool.
