Text is a beta feature and may not function as expected.
Currently, you can only create text in the Text Layout task. Using it in other tasks may produce flattened and unpredictable results.This feature will progressively be available across all tasks.
Two approaches:
Global settings: Use the text properties panel to adjust entire text frames
Character-level editing: Hover over unselected text and drag handles to adjust individual characters to edit letter-spacing and letter-stretch
You can resize the text frame by dragging its corner handles, which will proportionally scale the font.
Step-by-step:
Select the text layer
Hover over a corner handle until the resize cursor appears
Drag to scale the text frame and font size proportionally
Release to apply the new size
This resizing method maintains aspect ratio and proportional scaling. Character-level adjustments remain at their set percentages relative to the new font size.
Adjust the size of your text by changing the font size value in the text properties panel.
Step-by-step:
Select the text layer
Go to the top bar and change the bold value in the text setting panel
You can type the value
Or click and drag horizontally to adjust the value
You can see your text updated in realtime with the new size
You can select multiple text layers and apply the value to all of them at the same time.
Adjust spacing between individual characters by hovering and dragging, no menus required. This visual editing approach is especially powerful for CJK text and precise typography, letting you make fine adjustments directly on the scene.
Step-by-step:
Hover between two characters until diamond-shaped handles appear
Drag horizontally to adjust spacing
Release to apply the change
If you change the text font-size, the edited letter spacing will be kept (until you decide to change it or use a global value)
Apply letter spacing to the entire text frame using the text properties panel.
Step-by-step:
Select the text layer
Go to the top bar and select the button
On the same line as Letter-spacing, adjust the value
You can type the value
Or click and drag horizontally to adjust the value
You can see your text updated in realtime with the new size
If the character spacing has been modified, the global value will show as Mixed.

Drag horizontally to compress or expand the character
Release to apply the change
Apply letter stretch to the entire text frame using the text properties panel.
Step-by-step:
Select the text layer
Go to the top bar and select the button
On the same line as Letter-spacing, adjust the value

Adjust and manage the vertical spacing that appears between individual lines of text within your text frame.
Control how text is positioned within your text frame using horizontal and vertical alignment options. Alignment affects the position of all text content relative to the frame boundaries.
Horizontal alignment
Left: Aligns text to the left edge of the frame
Center: Centers text horizontally within the frame
Right: Aligns text to the right edge of the frame
Vertical alignment:
Top: Aligns text to the top edge of the frame
Center: Centers text vertically within the frame
Bottom: Aligns text to the bottom edge of the frame
