Hello All, Running Elements 1.6.2 and cannot for the life of me get the text to update in the Footer component. [Project File](elementsapp://downloadDocument/6BInOmlvmQ2B) In the whole project, I have no problem selecting any of the containers in the project, but the Footer container seems to be in some kind of lockdown mode. I can’t change any of the text, but my goal is just to update the year in the copyright. Can anyone see why the Footer containter is behaving this way? ---

Not sure why, but you have the footer container set to a z-index of -1 Set the z-index to None and you’ll then be able to edit the text! ---
