Can't edit text in screen groups

RobertRuediger — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 21:45:43 GMT

I have inserted a "Guide" screen group into my experience and was able to edit the panel and center stage text for the first screen. When I scroll down to the second and third screens, it won't let me edit any of the text. When I double-click a text box, it scrolls back to a previous screen and sometimes it even begins to edit one of the text boxes there.

Hi @RobertRuediger

Please track this bug BUG-000175776 When adding a Block at the top of a Screen group in Experience Builder, the editing of texts moves.

Hi @RobertRuediger ,

Thank you for reporting this bug. I was able to reproduce it on my end.

From my testing, it looks like the issue does not occur if there are no blocks placed above the screen group. As a workaround, you can try moving the screen group to the top of the page and then editing the text.

Alternatively, you can also use the Edit tool in the text widget toolbar instead of double-clicking the text widget.

Thanks,

Shengdi

Both bits of advice work. I think moving it to the top of the screen is the best thing to do until it's fixed -- when doing that, the content in the main stage can also be edited or replaced.
