NEW TO THIS--Edit text box?

I have seen other posts about this but they are older and not working for me. Is there a way I can edit a text box once I am clicked out of it. I have tried both vector and bitmap and everytime, it just creates a NEW text box and I can't edit what is there? I am having my students create a “presentation” about their famous people and thought the text box option in background was a better option than the speech bubble with facts about pictures. If there is another obvious way to do this, I am interested in learning. We just started learning scratch so we are pretty basic.

THANKS!

In vector mode, double click an existing text box with the select (mouse) tool.

In bitmap mode, once clicked outside of text boxes are no longer editable and act as an image.

You can also edit a vector text by clicking on it with the arrow tool and then using the T tool on it.

Bit mapped text can not be edited.

Arent the last two posts the same? Also is there an actual way to edit textboxes once you click out of them, because none of the above ways are working
