Renaming or deleting objects

[Marie Léger-St-Jean]

Hi,

1- I wanted to rename an object in a collection of my own, but couldn't find an "Edit" button for objects, so I just created a new one, thinking I could delete the old one.

2- However, I can't find how to delete an object either, so I'm stuck with two identical objects with different names in my collection.

3- I tried deleting the whole collection by clicking on the delete button (bin) for collections, but that didn't work.

Hence, is it possible to delete objects? If so, how?

I was using Chrome 21.0.1180.89, but I checked on Firefox and it didn't seem to be any different.

Thank you, and great work!

Marie

Hi Marie,

Happy to help. To get the "edit" button to show, you have to check the object on first. Then a pen icon should show up to the right. Can you try that, first? This is also how you delete the object--you click the pen, then in the "edit" window, there's a trashcan icon. That should take care of your problems, at least--please let me know if you've tried that, and it didn't work.

Best,

Dave
