Now left click once on the map to start the placement of the label. Initially, the label will be too small to see. You will then need to slowly move you cursor away from the point of where you clicked in order to enlarge it to the size that you desire.

Once you have it at the desired size, single left click again to place it on the map. Tools will appear around the Label to use for modification.

To change the Label text, click anywhere on the Label's current letters to make a properties window appear.

The Update button will save the changes without closing the properties window in order to make further updates.
