placeholder text doesn't seem to be working -- please help

I can create a textbox on a section page in the layout section. I have added and enabled some placeholder text in it. I've applied the changes to affect the other section pages in my book. Those section pages get the new textbox and placeholder text but nothing is selectable to change.

I feel like I have tried every combination of enabling box and text, just text, just box but still nothing is selectable on the section pages that I want to make different captions for.

Can someone please help me understand how to do this?

Thank you!!

If you made these changes to the template, you have to make them editable. Open the inspector, second icon from the left, select layout, at the bottom, tick the Make Editable box.... and also select each and check. top menu, ARRANGE > UNLOCK.

Its not a problem..... points mean nothing really, the only thing I care about is being able to offer a suggestion that works and removes the worry and stress of facing a situation without somebody - metaphorically - at your side to put the smile back.

Goos luck with your books when they hit the store.
