# About Text and Leaders

## About Text

Text Fields enable you to place and enter text anywhere on a drawing. Text Fields are free-floating and cannot connect to other shapes.

## About Leaders

Leaders are text boxes with a connected arrow that help you point out and explain specific features of a drawing. They attach to other drawing shapes and to Scaffolds and provide an editable text box, into which you can enter whatever is required to make your drawing clear and understandable.
