In this exercise, you specify the contents of the text layer. To change the text, edit the text instance and change the contents or styling.
To add text to the layer
Each annotation is one "text instance." You can add multiple text instances to a text layer. When you connect to the text layer later, all the text instances are inserted into your map.
Do not copy and paste the text. Type it directly into the text box.
You can apply your changes to all or part of the text. If you do not select text, nothing is applied. For example, if you select just the word "Downtown," you can make it a different color, size, and style from the word "Redding."
Type 160 into the Text Height field.
The text is not associated with any object or feature.
Since the text layer is a data store, check in the changes you made so they become available in other maps.
If you change any text instance on this text layer (the contents or the formatting), check it in again. Checking in the data updates the data store with the latest edits.
