The Text-Note Element creates a space to type in text, or to insert a dynamic Date and Time.
Adding a Text-Note Element
When you add a Text-Note it will open on the canvas with the edit bar open, and a cursor so you can type.
This default action (being open and ready to edit) means that you will not be able to move the text box at first because your cursor input of clicking and dragging is thought to be intended to select text.
You can move a text box while editing by clicking the “Element Draggable” icon on the bottom of the edit bar, or by clicking the gear icon in the upper right and saving your changes
