is there a special trick here, for me the text cannot be changed within a global container as shown in to dan’s video  
thanks in advance

After “unlink from global” the container, the container content can no longer edited in my case, so there seems to be a connection.

Sorry, I couldn’t seem to re-create your issue, check out the video below. Does this not work for you?

If not, can you share a video or provide more details on what you’re doing, maybe share your project with steps to re-create the issue?

Hi Dan

I watched your video on globals again and created a new test project where I was able to reproduce the issue. My mistake was that I only copied ny global banner on the same page instead of dragging it in as a component, which caused all the problems I mentioned. However, if I do it according to your video, everything works perfectly. Elements is fantastic. Sorry, I’m just testing things out, which sometimes causes issues. 👏

No problems @rud, it’s all part of the process and I’m just glad it’s working for you now 😊
