Your feature will show up in the Interactive Features table of your edit screen, with Feature Type appearing as a descriptor above the title you choose.

Edit the name in the box below Feature Title, then click Update Feature.

If you want to edit content for one of the features you’ve selected, click the book icon in the Edit Content column next to that feature. This will navigate you to that feature to edit as usual.
