## What you will do
Edit copy inside a **Rich text** block and format it correctly. Most text updates only require changing the block's content, not the page layout.
## Selecting the text to edit
Find the **Rich text** block you want to update:
* Click the text directly in the preview with the **Select** tool, or
* Use the sidebar to open the section, then the column, then the **Rich text** block inside it.
The **breadcrumbs** at the top let you move from a block up to its column and section. Pressing **Escape** repeatedly does the same, one level at a time.
## Editing and formatting
### Change the wording
Click into the rich text and edit it like a normal text editor.
### Format the paragraph
Place the cursor in a paragraph to set its paragraph style, alignment, list type, and heading level. A heading level such as **H3** sets the document hierarchy for accessibility and SEO; it does not control the visual design.
### Apply visual styling and inline formatting
Use a **paragraph style** from your theme, such as Heading Medium, to control how a paragraph looks. Select a range of text before applying inline formatting such as bold, italic, a link, or a different colour. Links can be set to open in a new tab.
A single Rich text block can contain several paragraphs. Use separate paragraphs for separate pieces of content. For a list, place the cursor in the list item or select the text you want to format, then apply the colour.
Once the text looks right across desktop, tablet, and mobile, save your work — covered in [Revert, save, and publish](/learn/revert-save-publish).
