On OKO iOS

You can only transform, view in AR, and delete Text Components from a space in OKO iOS. For more detailed edits, use OKO Web or the OKO Unreal Plugin.

To begin editing the Text Component in iOS, press and hold the Text Component to select it.

Once selected, the component will be highlighted. Using a single finger, you can drag and move it around the space.

By clicking the two dots on the right top corner of the screen, you can unlock the scaling tools to rotate and scale the Text Component in the space. From this menu, you also have the option to delete it from the space entirely.

Use two fingers to scale the component, and use three to rotate it.

View the Text Component in AR by clicking the View in AR button in the lower-left corner of the screen.
